Three candidates backed by New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani won Democratic congressional primaries, defeating incumbents and securing victories in the 10th and 7th districts.

Donald Trump
Republican Party
1. America the Beautiful will NEVER be a Communist Country!!!
2. Weak and pathetic Congressman Dan Goldman just lost, BIG! I guess people didn't like him illegally targeting President TRUMP.
Brad Lander
Democratic Party
1. I like talking to Jewish voters who feel anxiety about the times we live in and say, 'I have these values, I want to treat everyone like they're equal and with dignity and created in God's image. How do we navigate the times we're in?'
2. We cannot keep paying for Netanyahu's wars with our tax dollars. Democratic voters are saying this, loud and clear.
3. Our party needs to admit that Joe Biden's 'hug Bibi' strategy was a catastrophic mistake.
4. What a glorious time to be a New Yorker.
Daniel Goldman
Democratic Party
1. But it seems to motivate just about every single thing he does on a political level, and certainly he has invested much more time in the political aspect of things than in the governing aspect of things. And he is creating an increasingly toxic environment, especially for Jews.
2. What has emerged with the mayor is he appears to care most about the Middle East, which of course is not part of his job.
Nydia Velázquez
Democratic Party
1. He made a strategic error of judgement not to see what it means to have relationships at the different levels of government. For a city that relies on federal funding and the state, you try to expand your tent, not diminish it because you're going to need help from everyone.
Hakeem Jeffries
Democratic Party
1. There are 215 members of the House Democratic caucus. A handful of primaries that go in one direction or the other, in a given state or two, aren't going to reshape who we are as House Democrats.
Zohran Mamdani
Democratic Party
1. We are showing that last June, a year ago tomorrow, was not an anomaly.
2. Brad brings a kindness to this work. He brings a sincerity to this work. He brings a vision of politics that is more than what we've seen for so long.
3. We are showing there is a new path for politics in our city and in our country.
4. A year ago, it was not the end of a political movement. It was the beginning.
5. When I look at these candidacies, I see in them a willingness to also put working people back at the heart of our politics.
6. It's not just a question of electing more Democrats. It's a question of electing better Democrats.
7. The old politics that got us into this crisis is not the politics that's going to get us out of this crisis.
Letitia James
1. All of us are a little frustrated with the Democratic Party. But you don't blow it up. That's what MAGA has done.
2. Some of the candidates that he has supported are individuals who do not understand the politics of New York City, the cultural differences from district to district, who have not been part of the history and the struggle of some of these districts, and are relatively new to the body politic.
Anna Bahr
Democratic Party
1. Mayor Mamdani is modeling a different kind of politics — not billionaire-funded or consultant-driven, but one that champions the needs of working people. That is precisely what New Yorkers are asking for, it's what his endorsed candidates stand for, and it's why this slate won tonight.
