THE HATE SLATE: Mamdani-Backed America-Hating Communist Candidates Sweep NYC Primaries

New York City is finished.

Rational Americans must not underestimate the Democratic Socialists of America. Otherwise DSA candidates will be elected across the country to all levels of government.

The DSA wing of the Democratic Party made a major play for power in New York City. Three radical DSA members were on the primary ballot, facing two powerful Democratic incumbents, and making a play for an open seat. All three were endorsed by Zohran Mamdani. Final results won’t be certain by the time this goes out, but the likeliest outcome is Mamdani’s candidates winning all three races. The only race in doubt is New York 13, with Mamdani’s candidate Chevalier taking out Espaillat, the current Chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. It will be close. Washington Post: Mamdani has endorsed Brad Lander, the former city comptroller, over Rep. Dan Goldman in a district that stretches across Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn; Darializa Avila Chevalier, a doctoral student who participated in the pro-Palestine encampment at Columbia University, over Rep. Adriano Espaillat, chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, in a district that includes Upper Manhattan and parts of the Bronx; and state assemblywoman Claire Valdez over Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso in the race to replace Rep. Nydia M. Velázquez in a district that includes Brooklyn and Queens. The races now pose a test of Mamdani’s political power, putting him at odds with several national and local progressive power centers. But when we asked the mayor about this, he made clear he relished this fight and saw its results extending far beyond the Hudson River. (Washington Post.)

“The communists are taking over the Democrat Party. Mamdani backed 3 congressional candidates in NY Democrat primaries tonight. All three won and not by small margins. Two took out powerful Democrat incumbents. All 3 are self proclaimed socialists but all 3 are really communists. One also boasted about wiping her dirty hands on the American flag. They all demonize. This is who the Democrats are now.” (Robbie Starbuck)

If current results hold, Mamdani will have established himself as a kingmaker, even more powerful in Blue districts than House leaders.

Please meet Darializa Avila Chevalier, the Mamdani-endorsed DSA candidate for Congress:

Horrifying results tonight in New York City where Democratic Socialists are poised to win 3 congressional primaries. Incumbent Congressman Dan Goldman lost his seat in Congress tonight. He was thrown out of a coffee shop this weekend in Brooklyn — because he's a Jew. What is old…

Mamdani-backed lefties sweep in NYC congressional primaries — as socialist mayor’s influence grows to DC

By Craig McCarthy, Matt Troutman and Marie Pohl, NY Post, June 24, 2026:

The Zo-mentum is real.

Socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s far-left slate of Big Apple congressional hopefuls prevailed in Tuesday’s Democratic primary — with firebrand Darializa Avila Chevalier projected to pull off an AOC-style upset.

Former city Comptroller Brad Lander and state Assemblywoman Claire Valdez were quickly projected by the Associated Press and NY1 to win over their establishment Democrat opponents.

Avila Chevalier held a razor-thin 49.3% to 46% lead over Rep. Adriano Espaillat with 86% of votes counted late Tuesday, leading the five-term incumbent to concede.

The projected win by Avila Chevalier and the congressional race victories — coupled with a likely clean sweep of Democratic Socialists of America candidates in state races — signaled Mamdani could expand his socialist wave beyond New York City, to Washington, DC.

Massive ‘Mamdani surge’ does not materialize in contested NYC House races

DSA-backed House candidate Darializa Avila Chevalier storms out of radio interview when questioned about old social media posts
“This is a moment when voters have the opportunity to vote in who would be a partner in fulfilling the affordability agenda,” Mamdani said earlier Tuesday as he stumped for Lander.

The win by Avila Chevalier over Espaillat in New York’s 13th House District echoed the stunning 2018 victory by her fellow DSA diehard Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez over Democratic fixture Joe Crowley.

Mamdani endorsed Avila Chevalier, Lander and Valdez with the explicit promise that the lefty candidates would advance his “affordability agenda” in DC

Just two members of Congress — Ocasio-Cortez and Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Michigan) — are DSA members. The primary victories by Avila Chevalier and Valdez, in the Seventh House District, put two more closer to Congress — a fact not lost on supporters.

“DSA! DSA!” chants erupted at Valdez’s victory party in East Williamsburg.

The candidates hold a slew of far-left views that were once fringe within the Democratic Party.

Valdez and Avila Chevalier both campaigned on their staunch opposition to Israel — labeling the Jewish state’s actions in Gaza a genocide — and on pushing their pro-Palestinian values. Like Mamdani, the pair called for a full divestment of Israel and cutting off of any sales of US arms to its ally in the Middle East.

Valdez also echoed the Mamdani admin’s radical housing platform, pushing for the seizure of property from bad landlords.

All three also want to abolish ICE and Avila Chevalier, a community organizer and doctoral candidate, has even said she doesn’t believe foreign criminals should be deported.

Lander, for his part, isn’t a DSA member but scored Mamdani’s backing by hitching his political wagon to the socialist after their chummy contest in last year’s mayoral primary.

Over a decades-long career in New York City politics, the former city comptroller and Brooklyn councilman established himself as an outspoken progressive advocate.

He became even more vocally leftist after embracing Mamdani, telling CNN as the race for the 10th House District was called in his favor that the US needs to “reset” its relationship with Israel.

“We shouldn’t be taking corporate PAC money from Wall Street and crypto and AI and AIPAC,” he said.

“We’ve got to fight harder for working families and have people see us fighting for them, and we have to reset the U.S. relationship with Israel.”

While the trio of endorsements and victories drew cheers from Mamdani’s DSA pals, he ruffled feathers among establishment Dems and even his allies in the progressive Working Families Party.

Mamdani’s endorsement of Valdez, a one-term Queens state Assemblywoman, managed to tick off the retiring Rep. Nydia Velázquez.

Velázquez had backed Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso to succeed her in the district covering parts of Brooklyn and Queens.

Reynoso, a progressive, himself had backed Mamdani’s mayoral run. But he wasn’t part of the DSA, like Mamdani.
