At a New York City House primary debate, Brad Lander said the Democratic Party needs new leadership when asked whether he would support Sen. Chuck Schumer’s 2028 reelection bid; Rep. Daniel Goldman declined to commit. The candidates also clashed over policy and each other as a poll showed Lander leading.
During a NY1 debate, Lander said it was time for new Democratic Party leadership, while Goldman said he had not considered whether Schumer would run again. Both candidates said they would support keeping Rep. Hakeem Jeffries as House Democratic leader. Lander criticized Goldman over his wealth and past refusal to endorse Zohran Mamdani; Goldman called Lander a “career politician” who “can’t be trusted.”
The candidates also discussed impeachment of President Trump, Israel, abolishing ICE, public housing funding and taxes on the wealthy. A recent Pix 11/Emerson College poll showed Lander ahead of Goldman, 57% to 34%; Goldman’s campaign disputed the poll’s findings.
