This week, Spectrum News NY1 hosted a congressional debate in New York\u2019s 13th District, which includes Harlem, Upper Manhattan and parts of the Bronx. The candidates are incumbent Rep. Adriano Espaillat and his much younger opponent, Darializa Avila Chevalier, who has been endorsed by Mayor Zohran Mamdani and the Democratic Socialists of America. NY1 investigative reporter Courtney Gross, political reporter Bobby Cuza and statehouse reporter Bernadette Hogan discuss the debate and what it indicates about the Democratic Socialists of America\u2019s growing presence in New York City politics.<\/p>\n
After that, the \u201cOff Topic\u201d team catches you up on the rest of this year\u2019s congressional contests. There are 38 legislative primaries on the ballot, and a handful of them are highly competitive. Consider this your voter guide as primary day approaches.<\/p>\n
