Mamdani-backed candidates shake up NYC primaries
It was a strong primary night for candidates backed by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, with several incumbents facing tough results. Ben Max, director at New York Law School’s Center for New York City and State Law and host of the Max Politics podcast, joins FOX 5 to break down what the results say about the changing Democratic Party in New York. Max discusses Mamdani’s growing political influence, the rise of the party’s left wing, low turnout, challenges for establishment Democrats and what the results could mean for city and state politics going forward.
