1:41Now PlayingIt was a big night for New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, whose endorsed slate of congressional candidates swept their Democratic primaries Tuesday.
Their victories marked a major show of political strength for the mayor, a significant figure on the political left. And they sent a shock to the Democratic establishment that lined up behind other candidates. Like the mayor, Valdez and Avila Chevalier are members of the Democratic Socialists of America.
At a warehouse-turned-nightclub in Bushwick, Brooklyn, members of the New York City chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America danced, cheered and pumped their fists, celebrating the victories. Supporters say these wins amount to an affirmation of Mamdani’s agenda and the broader Democratic Socialist movement, which is staunchly pro-Palestinian and focused on the needs of working people. For many supporters, their next focus is 2028.
