Brad Lander wins NY-10 Democratic primary

Bea Kaye79

He was out there saying "We don't need to vote for more Democrats, we need to vote for better Democrats" as a platform. The Dems who are scared of that deserve to be

Carin48

Brad Lander was co-chair of the progressive city council caucus, he comes from the municipal bench and that’s exciting

Michelle Wu for President24

He’s phenomenal. He’s gonna be an awesome Congressman. Cannot wait to

Tom Ochs16

I’ve known Brad Lander since his first election to City Council and was my CM for 4 years. I got to work with him on the #CloseRikers campaign where he helped lead the fight in the Council. Supported him in his Mayoral race and in this race. He is legit. We’re all lucky to have him in Congress!

There are heroes everywhere, and the people rise to support them

The Toronto Ben Jays 🇨🇦⚾️7

Thank you on behalf of the people who live a 20 minute walk away from me

aburtonmatt.bsky.social7

The way he refused to let the mayoral race become about vanity, the way he shared (and ceded) the spotlight with/to Zohran, made clear to me that he was in it for the cause, not just for the glory. So glad he prevailed and proud to have voted for him.

Kathy Castro4

He seems like an exceptionally good human. Nice to see him win. I also wouldn't mind if the next Democratic president wanted to make Goldman the US Atty for NY

Ozma39

He's an appealing figure. He has 'world's best social studies teacher' vibes. I do think it's a good look for politics right now though we don't see it much. Someone who is not corrupt or a money-worshipping asshole. We yearn for clean competent government (though Congress one gets little shot!)

Michael Love32

Also it's going to terrify a whole bunch of other Democrats who narrowly escaped primary challenges this cycle (or, in the case of the Senate, were not running this year)

The Almighty Tallest27

He put his body on the line to defend his constituents from fascists. He has my axe.

volcanicsand.bsky.social22

Yes. He’s great and he is great in a very Jewish way.

KR8

Also he looks like a Tim Robinson character and that deserves some representation

Brad Reed6

I've been honestly shocked by the audacity of AIPAC over the last few days of claiming that singling them out for criticism is on par with anti-Semitism. AIPAC has been going after Zionist Democrats who simply say they don't want to give Ben-Gvir a blank check!

🏳️‍⚧️Manticorn☸️6

I have not spent years admiring the courage and truth-telling of American Jewish people fighting against oppression and racism wherever they see it, just for "Jewish politics" to become synonymous with AIPAC. It's enough to make me feel nuts. Thank God for this triumph.

Andy Pearlman4

yeah, in nyc too, beating a wealthy scion…if mamdani runs the table on his endorsements…

Story of bas Monde4

proving again that AIPAC $$$$$ doesn't always win

Ms. Hart2

I'm from Ca and love him

Dumb Megan2

I live in Rochester, MN and I follow him on here. The guy is a star.

grantsdale.bsky.social2

The strength of these wins is being together. Brad or Darializa or anyone else might not be a huge figure on their own, but all of them together can be the future we need.

Bill2

🔮Class 3 US Senator from New York🔮

Chris Wilhelm2

Defeating Dan Goldman is pretty great, too!

Stinamatic29

From a NY-er, Brad is a known quantity here. He did not need Mamdani’s support as much as the others.

Beth Crosby🇨🇦🍁20

Oh dear - he was such a good lawyer and Rep 😢

tracycouch.bsky.social18

Voter backed Lander defeats Goldman. Fixed it for ya.

#1415

Goldman was solid. We Dems are eating our own. 😞

bapestok.bsky.social12

This isn't just a win for Brad Lander; it's a clear message from voters demanding a shift toward a more progressive and balanced foreign policy. The grassroots movement in New York is reshaping the future of our party.

J H9

AIPAC is losing more and more power!

NurseGenius8

I believe voters responded when Rep Goldman said he would take money from anyone . Moral failure

Dogs10Gods08

Wow! 😳 Tides are turning.

Mitch Solomon7

Dang! Now those are some true coat strings we're talking about. Congratulations to Lander, he'll be awesome.

UncleTifa6

Goldman lost because of his Israel support Canary in the coal mine moment for Dem candidates. Israel and AIPAC have become toxic Gavin, watcha gonna do?

Anti Neoliberalism6

Hell yeah!!! Another Israel First Zionist bites the dust!

keebl3r5

Goldman for Lander? Hell yeah!

Just a Bit Clippy5

Hell yeah Brad! What a great guy. Wish I could have voted for him. Someone who talks the talk and walks the walk.

Robyn5

These are the headlines I like to see. Give credit where credit is due

Prairiesunshine4

Huge loss for #AIPAC as well. US House Representatives need to be elected by US voters to serve US citizens. Period.

Don Quixote3

The American people won. Genociders lost Need more of that

Jet Jaguar3

DARI, BRAD, AND CLAIRE, IT'S A SWEEP BABY

Tatiana Rodríguez3

Goldman lost because of his stance on Israel. Other Dems should take note.

Julie🫘3

Wow! From Illinois this seems huge.

Caleb Clementi3

This is just the beginning!!! Mainstream Democrats will be wiped off the slate!!!

RGny2

This is why we can't have nice things — my party eventually turns on itself and always eats its own. Dan Goldman should still be the Democratic Party nominee, and Brad Lander should have run for another position. Yeesh.

JN Hall2

Why not replace the guy who prosecuted Trump with some connected council dude Seems legit Again, Mamdani is NYC's Ray Nagin

Ben There 22

This is a shot across the bow, for all Blue party war criminals.

BasedFace2

Come gather 'round people Wherever you roam

Millie, or Mills if we’re friends2

Note how the times of isnotreal equates Mamdani and Landers’ stance against genocide with “the Jewish state” And why do they keep calling it “the Jewish state”. Racist mfers

BlueElayne 🦢🫘🦢83

Goldman is a good person, but his stance on Israel did not help his cause.

Election_Every58

Remember how Dan #Goldman came out swinging for release of Epstein Files and info about Epstein ties to Israeli intelligence came out and he stopped talking about the files ... #AIPAC support matters!

Kim54

Goldman could have won but he made some wrong policy choices and went against what the majority of Democratic voters want today. I sure hope this spreads across the USA.

FilmAlicia42

Brad Lander will be a wonderful Representative!

Michelle 🧘🏻‍♀️36

Goodbye Corporate Dems. 👋🏻 Hello Progressive Dems and Democratic Socialists!! 👏🏻

Señor Juanton35

He was a good questioner in committee; but he was very much a corporate Democratic politician in his voting.

NotQuietMode_M.D.32

This is a political earthquake. Make no mistake. Goldman has done many good things, it’s a referendum about 1 specific thing: Israel. Dems have a choice: side with We the People (call us old fashioned but we hate genocide) or take AIPAC money & side with those committing genocide. Choose wisely!

Terra Alta29

Why would you phrase it like that? Lander *won.* Lander defeated Goldman. That's the headline. Lander is the subject. Goldman can be relegated to the object.

HA Grace23

AIPAC is a fucking non starter

Marie Louise Bosin21

So sad about this #dangoldman is a good man and was a good public servant.

mktimber.bsky.social13

Next AG of SDNY - talent wasted in congress.

tripeee.bsky.social12

Hmm. Tough loss. A champion for the party going up against Cheeto.

Sunny Willow12

Good. No candidate that supports the genocidal apartheid state of Israel should have political power.

vanala.bsky.social11

I liked Goldman, but I believe he takes AIPAC money so him getting voted out is a good thing.

Dr. Marina Archer11

Dan Goldman would be very useful working in a legal position to help clients fight fascism.

paulaptb11

Good. Lost faith in Goldman when he failed to place his considerable assets in a blind trust after promising to do so. B-bye. www.rawstory.com/raw-investig...

GHC9

Thank you Congressman Goldman. You did us well. You'll be missed.

georgine12.bsky.social9

Good We also need term limits Vote out all the lifer corporate politicians Goldman is one

Truth Dog9

Whether you’re for Goldman or Lander, either one is better than the Republican alternative. This is how a primary works.

anaclarabrand.bsky.social8

The progressive wave in New York is officially a tsunami. Big shakeup for the NYC delegation!

Loops8

Liked him. But this is about Bibi and AIPAC, not Goldman. He is a lawyer .. he had a good practice before. He will be fine.

Cronogen7

Happy for Brad Lander. He'll be a great rep.

Guncle John7

Well, Dems, read the room…

Jan7

Very sorry for Rep. Goldman. He lost for the same reason we lost President Biden and Kamala Harris. It will not end well. IMHO. Geo politics 😔

Em4democracy7

I hope he runs for Schumer’s seat. Goldman is an excellent constitutional scholar and provided the votes we needed for impeachment and other bills to get over the line.

Stand! Shout for Blue in 2026! 💙💙7

Dan Goldman is a good one. Sorry he lost.

Ned Pyle6

May all these men incapable of meeting the moment meet the same fate

Barron W. Tramp6

Dan was a good guy. Brad is better suited for this time! Go Brad!

Steve Jensson5

There's a NEW Blue Wave coming to America.

Pure Michigan5

AIPAC is toxic even when they try to hide it.

bapestok.bsky.social5

Another massive win for progressives! Brad Lander’s victory proves that NY-10 voters want a bold, progressive vision for the future, not status quo establishment politics. The momentum is real.

Flantastic5

I don't think he's malicious, but he's certainly not reading the fucking room.

Miss Bondage4

We’re watching a Progressive change in spite of Democratic leadership…. Because we’re sick of strong letters

Anti-Nazi Citizen4

Karma for the AIPAC funded douche canoe.

Cameron L. Mitchell4

We did it! We Dumped Dan Goldman! Congratulations Brad Lander! Make us proud! @bradlander.bsky.social

Jean Ibosh3

People are vetting candidates closely now. He takes money from AIPAC which is supporting genocide. I’m glad Brad won.

carpenter22.bsky.social3

He voted for funds to keep Israel going with their genocide. He deserved to lose.

danaleighr.bsky.social3

We are tired of corporate democrats, New York will only be the beginning.

Mary3

Brad Lander is a wonderful human being. He literally went to court to support and fight for immigrants to not be detained by ICE. ❤️

Woke3

I hope all the AIPAC funded candidates are paying attention. Accept their money. Lose your job!!!!

Michael3

Not good news for the Democratic Party, to put it mildly. There’s a good chance the far left lets the Republicans retain control of the House and Senate. Which may be what they want in the end. Facism wins.

Mary Kay3

That's too bad. I really like Dan Goldman. He was great in the impeachment trial.

GOP is a FRAUDULENT Organization.3

Goooood. AIPAC loses again. This is good for America.

Farf in heaven's boy3

I hope we never lose Goldman's voice clear,concise,on top of things

ChangedtoInde3

I think he was one of the smart ones. Hope the pendulum swing is not too strong

[The Great War & Modern Memory]3

The AIPAC support, I'll say, did him in.

Struward🇨🇦3

Too bad…anyone who followed Goldman knew he was an effective fighter…

Sharonls2

Believe this maybe a mistake. Golden was an honest Rep.

Jake2

A talking head is gone. Leadership pay attention.

aragen.bsky.social2

Good. Zionists are evil and unfit for office.

catikate2

I like him. I hope there is a place for him in our party.

AuntieG (She/Her) 🖕🏽2

I sent a damn message with my vote.

DeniseSF5 🇨🇦*🇺🇦*🇩🇪2

That's too bad. I have a ton of respect for Dan Goldman.

Diplocat2

I don’t believe the Democratic Party should allow other orgs to use our infrastructure to run candidates against Dems. As a registered Dem & PC, I work hard to inform voters & turn out support for Dem candidates. I’m not a member of WFP, and I don’t see them helping build or strengthen the Dem Party

gabagoolers.bsky.social2

AIPAC has a lobbying job ready to go for this piece of trash

auntieranty.bsky.social2

I am not surprised. These people need to wake up on their Israel stance.

Moderately-sized Cheese2

Interesting way to frame an electorate having enough of corporate backed politicians who haven't done shit for them

Ben There 22

Blue rep genocide supporters are war criminals.

In Spite of Trump2

Good. Dan Goldman has been ineffective.

museevirtuel.bsky.social2

Dan Goldman will continue to pretend that the Democratic Party that elected him in 2023 still exists. What choice does he have?

Jennifer Gordon Thomas15

As a person in @claireforny.bsky.social 's district I am SO GODDAM HAPPY!!!!

ELIZE3

Congrats to Claire Valdez on her big win! Zohran Mamdani's backing seems to be a winning strategy so far this election season.

wow, Goldman could do really bad things now and Conway most likely will start to like Trump again.

lynn0908.bsky.social95

Ha! I love seeing these “moderate” dems be kicked out. Goldman voted with republicans in several significant votes. Good riddance to Dems that try to walk the middle.

ANTIFA Sub-Commander41

Goldman got fuckin smoked. Wow.

Mike Bloom29

It's nice to have some good news every once in awhile

"Thank you, Bear"6

I'm happy for him. I wish we could have gotten rid of Suozzi too but maybe next time

Figserello6

One less Israeli shill. Love it.

Josh C5

Goldman never had a chance. People want real change.

Updog Sinclair2

Getting that coffee shop treatment

a little less Gold in congress is already a step forward

KK44

I also like Dan Goldman but AIPAC and Israel are going to be the reason some of these guys go down.

jenifer gold maldonado28

brad lander is a good dude. good job nyc!!! i like dan goldman but he can take his aipac money and shove it.

SAVVYKAT7224

I don’t like this, Dan Goldman was a huge asset for Democrats

Kiki16

Irony in NY-10: Multimillionaire Rep. Dan Goldman outspent challenger Brad Lander 7-to-1 but still lost his primary. Lander successfully turned Goldman's AIPAC endorsement and moderate Israel stance into the race's fatal liability.

coachdondelotell.bsky.social16

Anyone who supports Bibi (a war criminal to be at the Hague) really shouldn't be voted into Congress---go Lander!

Just Kris15

Dan Goldman is a good man. As an attorney his presence was very valuable. BUT incumbent Dems who can’t wean themselves off of AIPAC money are going to face the music.We are done with our taxpayer dollars being given to the current Israeli regime, and with their outsized influence. It must stop!

ocmoose.bsky.social13

I liked Goldman, but I like anti aipac more, and hopefully this will be an eye opening moment for other Zionist members.

Enemy_Within_09711

Brad Lander had led in the polls over Dan Goldman. The election primary results backed it up for Lander. Mamdani effect is confirmed.

endtheoligarchs.bsky.social11

So GOP gets NRA/AIPAC money, the DEMs get AIPAC money any guess why out politicians are so compromised? Get money out of politics, vote for officials who pledge to end CITIZENS UNITED

Ben There 210

It’s not only the Zs who need to go, it’s every blue rep who voted to approve military aid to Israel, during the active genocide in Gaza.

Lori 🇺🇦💩🐸👑8

Shit. I liked Dan Goldman. I like Brad Lander too. I hate when Mom and Dad fight.

Matt Leeds8

Hey Dan Israel AIPAC Goldman! 👋🏻

aubreyel1.bsky.social8

@danielsgoldman.dg4ny.co refused to repudiate AIPAC money or condemn Israel's genocide and war crimes in Gaza, the West Bank, Iran, and Lebanon.

mgmelinda17.bsky.social8

I’m sad to lose Goldman.

406 Hiker6

Do bad I really like Goldman. Well the next president can make him either Attorney General or make him ADA SNDY

Jamie4

Never thought I would be happy to see him go. AIPAC did him in.

Baja Arizona. We fight on.4

The people have spoken, and the people are pissed and ready for new blood. Lead the way New York!

hoots11.bsky.social4

A little sad. Goldman was great at arguing with MAGA.

David2

Mamdani brings a certain energy to the table. cbwrong.blogspot.com/2026/06/the-...

scotta2023.bsky.social2

Oh man! Dan Goldman is a true patriot! Thank you for your service!

sbharvey.bsky.social2

I was not his constitutes, but I am sorry to see him go, think he was there for 3 terms. He was new. Hope all of this primarying out by Mamdani does not backfire. Does not pay to be remotely pro Isreal now.

Raphael6

Not to mention that Mamdani does seem to do all kinds of things that have no connection whatsoever to *either* Israel *or* Jews. Hey, David, just because something isn't relevant enough to *your* interests to show up on *your* radar, it doesn't mean it didn't happen

andrew cohen4

whatever you think of the guy’s ideas, he is sincere and, relative to any politician in my lifetime, acting with more good faith than i have ever seen.

toastfuker 3

Lander by the way just won his primary

plumstock.bsky.social3

I am so sick of people claiming you can't criticize what the corrupt government of Israel is doing is anti-semitism. It's the same as people saying criticism of the corrupt Trump regime is anti-American. IT'S NOT. To demand better of government is the most democratic thing EVER.

CSilberman2

Otoh, one social media pundit seems to be conflating Zionism definitionally with supporting the current leadership, which is also problematic.

Mattie Kaiser31

God it makes my heart so happy that Brad Lander won. His partnership with Mamdani to help him get past the finish line is one of the most selfless acts I've ever seen in politics. He deserves every future success 🩷

Mistress Matisse8

I was hoping this would happen! Way to go, New York! 🌟

paulaptb7

I lost any faith I had in Goldman (one of the wealthiest members of Congress) when he failed to place his assets in a blind trust, as promised, immediately after his election. B-Bye. www.rawstory.com/raw-investig...

Ozma4

Yaaaaay. We need a video of him eating a celebratory hotdog on a roller coaster!

Keith Donovan2

Goddamn that's good to hear!

mrsdianek.bsky.social17

Goldman was done. He was the only one that didn't know it.

Guncle John4

Seems that blindly following Israel’s orders is a losing proposition. I’ll go out on a limb (with a ‘b’ Piggy) and hazard a guess that Bibi has fucked Israel for generations. Bravo.

Doug Aus3

You are imposing a litmus test that will cost Democrats in 2028. Israel is not an aparthied state or a settler-colonial state. Don't tell Jews or Holocaust survivors what a genocide is. There are no easy answers on Israel/Gaza.

sochi123.bsky.social2

But will any other "moderate" democrats learn from it? They hid the 2024 autopsy for a reason.

POSUTtRUmp 100% parody of Piece Of Shit Ultimate Traitor2

Good. Israel has been committing genocide against Palestinians. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Kitty Murphy5

It’s clear - ppl want a change.

SIMCHA CHAI2

Unqualified! They traded in a Federal Prosecutor who Impeached Trump for a glorified accountant.

Zahraa زهراء🌸5

I saw his interview with Ben Rhodes on Substack, and he answered every question without dodging them like typical politicians. His responses were also grounded in ethics. It’s great to hear that he may win the primary.

Rob Cerulo3

Terrible news for the 2026 Trump impeachment efforts.

Dr. DJ Khaled, M.D.2

Turns out Brooklyn voters are anti-genocide. Shocking.

Take AIPAC money and lose your job is the way
