NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani\u2019s slate of fiery progressives swept establishment-backed Democrats in the state’s congressional primaries on Tuesday, ousting two sitting congressmen in a resounding show of force for the democratic socialist leader of America\u2019s largest city, who is fighting to reshape the Democratic Party.<\/p>\n
U.S. Rep. Adriano Espaillat, who leads the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, was defeated by Mamdani\u2019s most polarizing pick, Darializa Avila Chevalier, a democratic socialist who once helped organize pro-Palestinian protests at Columbia University.<\/p>\n
