Micah Lasher defeated Jack Schlossberg in a crowded Democratic primary for an open Manhattan congressional seat. The campaign drew attention for Schlossberg’s Kennedy family ties and for spending by competing artificial-intelligence interests.
New York Assembly Member Micah Lasher defeated Jack Schlossberg in the Democratic primary for an open Manhattan congressional seat. Lasher said in his victory speech that he wanted to “revamp and recharge” the party in Washington, while Schlossberg had argued that Democrats needed candidates who spoke plainly about the cost of living, corruption and the Constitution. The article says Democrats make up two-thirds of registered voters in the district.
The campaign also became an expensive proxy fight among artificial-intelligence interests. Some tech and AI companies opposed Alex Bores over legislation he wrote, while other industry figures tried to help him. Bores said in his concession speech that powerful industry figures had tried to make an example of the race and that his campaign did not back down. The article also reports that former Rep. Carolyn Maloney endorsed Bores and Rep. Jerry Nadler endorsed Lasher.

22 OUTLETSMicah Lasher won the Democratic primary for New York’s 12th Congressional District; the crowded contest also featured Alex Bores and Jack Schlossberg. Left-leaning outlets present the result as a setback for opponents of stricter AI regulation. Center outlets largely describe a crowded, costly primary, highlighting Schlossberg’s Kennedy profile and the fight over AI spending and regulation. Right-leaning outlets emphasize Lasher’s win, prominent rivals and campaign dynamics, though one article uses derisive language about losing candidates.
