Three Congressional candidates from New York endorsed by the uncrowned king of New York,Zohran Mamdani, won their primaries and are expected to be elected to congress in November.

They are Darializa Avila Chevalier (13th), Brad Linder (10th), and Claire Valdez(7th).

In addition to his loss, Congressman Dan Goldman was banned from his favorite coffee shop, Poetica Coffee, for his Pro-Israel stance.

Jeremy Carl, of the Claremont Institute, said that New York had become “a post-American city”. He went on to say, “The future of the Democrat party is radical and post-American in it’s (sic) orientation. “

Candidates endorsed by Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) –

also won in the New York State Legislature, including Eon Huntly (56^th), Samantha Katten (37^th), David Orkin (38^th), llapa Sairitupac (65^th). and Christian Tate (54^th). 5 takeaways from New York 2026 primary election results However, as this article points out, establishment Democrats had some wins, though less than usual.

Donald Trump is quoted as saying. America would “never be a communist country”. George Conway, the former husband of Kellyanne Conway, and a founder of the anti-Trump ran in the 12^th District. He received all of 6% of the vote.

Van Jones said “The roof is collapsing on the Democratic Party Establishment”. He has dubbed this“insurgency” as “a movement and a machine at the same time”, while also including Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as a co-architect.

It’s not just a New York “thing” anymore. The next Mayor of Washington, DC will be Janeese Lewis George, another DSA member. Also, DSA member Nithya Raman, will be in the general election for LA Mayor.

The Democratic establishment managed to beat back the progressives in Maryland and Utah. It seems, in a counter to DSA, that AIPAC has also gotten involved.

Will Dem Senate Stunt Backfire?

By Bob Small

There’s been a lot of articulations about the candidacy of Daniel L. Osborn who’s achieved ballot status as an “independent” Nebraska Senate Candidate. He has approximately $3 million in funds. One of the major contributors is the WORKING FAMILIES PARTY PAC along with American Opportunity Action, both of which are aligned with Democrats. Strangely, this funding was not mentioned in most of the articles or podcasts on Dan Osborn.

Osborn left college and eventually became the president of Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union Local 50G. He led the successful 2021 strike at Kellogg’s Omaha Plant.

As a union member, we applaud that.

This year the Nebraska Democratic Party “fought hard to get Cindy Burbank  through a Senate primary against William Forbes.

The plan apparently was that Burbank would  immediately drop from the race clearing the way for an “independent” campaign by Osborn” who had 46% in his losing 2024 campaign. This article goes into other examples of what the British media site as “jiggery-pokery”.

The Democratic Candidate, Cindy Burbank, was not supposed to stay in the race, but…

Osborn, on his website, cites such positions as “protect our paychecks, social security, and healthcare”, “drain the Swamp”, and “defend our freedoms and the Constitution”, which the majority of us would agree with. H

He served in the United States Navy and is a former member of the Nebraska Army National Guard.

Among other contributors to his campaign are “the Fight Agency”, with it’s ties to New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani. Nebraska hasn’t had a Democratic Senator in almost 15 years and their last Democratic Governor, E. Benjamin Nelson, left office in 1999.

Since Osborn is cited as the best hope to win in November, Burbank was supported in the Democratic Primary, with the understanding that she would drop out for the General Election.

That is not going as planned.

She actuallly may not be allowed to drop out.

Stay tuned.
