*** Election Night Livewire *** Mamdani vs. the Establishment in Fight for Soul of Democrat Party

[mystery-ak]

Bradley Jaye 23 Jun 2026

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) is taking the Democrat Party establishment head-on in the greatest test of his political clout since his unlikely election victory in November.

Maryland and Utah join New York in holding primaries Tuesday, with South Carolina holding primary runoffs.

But most political prognosticators are fixated on New York, including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), whose political fortunes hang on maintaining control over their evolving, increasingly radical Democrat caucuses.

Mamdani, a democratic socialist, has endorsed three candidates for the House of Representatives, each cut from his Marxist cloth and representing a significant challenge to the power structure that enabled Jeffries and Schumer to rise to the upper echelons of party power.

In the Seventh Congressional District, Mamdani endorsed New York State Assemblymember Clair Valdez over Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso, who is the preferred replacement for outgoing Rep. Nadia Velazquez (D-NY).

But Mamdani isn’t simply endorsing against the candidate preferred by outgoing Democrat representatives. He is taking on incumbent Democrats too.

The crowd at the Claire Valdez victory party chanted “you’re next” at Democrat Leader Hakeem Jeffries after all three Socialists won their Congressional races last night.
He has lost control over the party.
This is Mamdani’s Communist party now.

Why did this come to mind?

You say you want a revolution, well, you know
We all wanna change the world
You tell me that it's evolution, well, you know
We all wanna change the world

But when you talk about destruction
Don't you know that you can count me out?  ...

The left didn't like it when Lennon said no to violence. Violence and destruction is what NYC and other cities can expect under today's Democrat party. The question is whether they're going to reap what they sow.

The most shocking win was by that Maurice Chevalier communist.

Socialist Who Bragged About Wiping Her Hands On The American Flag Ousts Dem Congressman

Darializa Avila Chevalier, a 32-year-old community organizer and doctoral student who is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, won the Democratic Party primary for New York’s 13th Congressional District on Tuesday night. She defeated five-term incumbent Representative Adriano Espaillat, who received approximately 45.9 percent of the vote, while Chevalier secured about 49.4 percent.

Chevalier, who has worked as a community organizer and participated in pro-Palestinian activism, including events at Columbia University, is backed by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who is also a self-described socialist. Mamdani’s backing included public appearances and mobilization of supporters through a ground campaign focused on turnout in the district, which covers parts of Upper Manhattan and the Bronx.

Chevalier — who was one of three Mamdani-backed candidates to oust incumbent Democrat members of congress on Tuesday night — openly backs a number of far-left policies and has expressed disdain for the United States.

In a 2019 social media post that has since been deleted, Chevalier bragged about desecrating the American flag. “I forgot to get napkins so I just wiped my hand on the American flag behind me,” she wrote in the post, which was accompanied by a smiling emoji.

 Hakeem Jeffries-backed candidates lose key primary races — as influx of socialists set to join Democratic leader in Congress
By Victor Nava
Published June 24, 2026, 5:30 a.m. ET

House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) suffered a blow Tuesday night after far-left congressional hopefuls defeated his preferred candidates in three New York primary election races.

Wins by socialists Darializa Avila Chevalier and Claire Valdez in the Empire State’s 13th and 7th congressional districts, respectively, along with left Israel-critic Brad Lander’s victory in New York’s 10th District, could complicate Jeffries’ path to retaining the Democratic leadership post – and potentially the speakership – after the November midterm elections.

Jeffries endorsed defeated incumbent Reps. Dan Goldman (D-NY) and Adriano Espaillat (D-NY) for re-election in the 10th and 13th districts – both of whom had pledged to fall in line behind Jeffries if Democrats reclaimed the majority.

At this point the Rats aren't making gains, they're just shuffling deck chairs. I think it's far more of a threat to Jefferies leadership than anything.

And as these guys run, and especially if they get into Congress, it's gonna be a clown show. They may have NY locked down, but the effect won't be the same on the rest of the country. It may well backfire on them.

It may well backfire on them.

Ultimately, yes, but they'll do a lot of damage in the process, just like Obama did.

Will it? How?

Well, look at what AOC, Tlaib, Omar, and their former "squad" have done to Congress.  We ignore the DSA rise at our own peril, just like the lefty poison that spewed out of our colleges and universities into the real world.  I remember being told to just ignore because it would be confined within those academic institutions, and everybody on the outside would just laugh at it.

Nobody's laughing now.

Gotham has fallen.

The mass exodus out of the New York will continue apace. I call it the Blue Exodus.

Last night’s sweep of Marxist Socialist candidates will further destroy New York City.

The virulent antisemitism in the Socialists’ campaigns is dangerous not only to Jews, but to every American. Because they are attacking the West.

If they continue to win, the American Dream and Western Civilization will fall. Wake up.

Define. AOC has been useless to the Rats. She's the biggest poster child for the GOP since Hillary,

Unless they get a majority, all these Rats will be the same for the rest of America.

Dem is not big tent party ...

... Hillary Clinton and Debbie Wasserman Schultz (2016 DNC Chair) rigged the 2016 Dem Primary ...

... the Dems halted their 2020 competitive primary after Biden won South Carolina because they wanted to consolidate support around one candidate (of their choosing) to defeat Trump ...

... in 2024, Biden annointed himself the Dem Nominee until Nancy Pelosi replaced him with Kamala Harris after George Clooney stated the obvious.

Dems have stifled competetition within their party to keep their Clinton-Obama Establishment in power.

The only people Dems help are illegal alien foreigners because they are key to juicing the 2030 US Census for House apportionment in the Dems' favors.

Dems have to import illegal alien foreign voters to their states because their anti-growth, anti-capitalist, anti-free-market-economy, enviro-loving limousine liberal policies have stifled organic population growth in their states.

Of that I have no doubt, especially the ones who let non-citizens vote.

The realpolitik is that they run the danger of depopulation, by flight or worse. Between redistricting, census shifts, and hopefully winning a couple or court cases, everything they're pulling might blow up in their faces.
