Tonight, New York's mayor proved he's emerging as one of the most powerful politicians in the Democratic Party — and used it to purge his own party's incumbents.
Three House primaries in New York. Two DSA members.
A mayor with no race of his own on the ballot used his office to take out three sitting Democrats who wouldn’t move further left.
The sharpest result isn't even the most radical one — it's two Jewish progressives fighting over how far is too far on Gaza, and the one running to the left of a Trump impeachment manager won.
I registered Democrat at 18. Voted for McGovern in '72. I've watched a party get taken over before. Tonight it happened again.
My full analysis just published on Just the Facts, including the full background on who the three are now going to Washington— link in the next post.
