Brad Lander defeated Rep. Dan Goldman in New York’s 10th District Democratic primary, where their differing views on Israel were a central issue. The winner is favored to win the heavily Democratic district in November.
Former New York City Comptroller Brad Lander defeated Rep. Dan Goldman in the Democratic primary for New York’s 10th Congressional District, according to the article. It says the candidates’ views on Israel became the contest’s main issue and that the district is heavily Democratic. Lander described himself as a liberal Zionist and criticized AIPAC; Goldman described himself as “unabashedly pro-Israel” and said Israel was not the district’s most important issue.
The article also describes campaign spending, endorsements and policy positions. It reports that Goldman spent more than seven times as much as Lander on television and radio advertising, while Lander received support from a super PAC opposing AIPAC. In a 2025 interview, Lander said he would vote to recognize a Palestinian state and oppose weapons sales to Israel. The article says the winner of the primary is expected to win the November election.

Center outlets largely report the result and candidates’ differences, with some attention to Israel and concerns raised about antisemitism and Jewish inclusion. Right-leaning outlets frame Lander’s win as a progressive or socialist gain and emphasize Goldman’s anti-Trump role and disputes over Israel.
