Mamdani wants to change the Democratic Party. But can he get his House picks over the finish line in Tuesday’s primary?

Mayor Zohran Mamdani is urging voters to support three progressive congressional candidates in Tuesday’s primary, framing the election as a test of his political influence and the Democratic Party’s direction. Early voting turnout is lower than in Mamdani’s mayoral race, raising questions about his ability to mobilize voters for down-ballot races.
