Brad Lander Defeats Dan Goldman in New York Democratic Primary

Brad Lander defeated Daniel Goldman in the Democratic primary for New York’s 10th Congressional District. Center outlets split: some present the results as a warning for pro-Israel Democrats, while The Forward argues the Goldman-Lander race was not simply about Israel and emphasizes Jewish safety and coalition-building. Right-leaning outlets treat Israel policy as central to Goldman’s loss and as a warning about its political costs for pro-Israel Democrats.
