Lander&#8217;s victory is expected to lead to his election in the heavily Democratic district. The primary featured sharp ideological differences, especially over Israel policy adn economic issues; while Goldman supported pro-Israel positions and was endorsed by Governor Kathy Hochul, Lander criticized Israel\u2019s actions in Gaza and opposed groups like AIPAC, vowing not to accept thier donations. Lander campaigned on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/democratic-senator-shorts-us-economy-after-praising-bidens-handling-of-it\/\" title=\"Democratic senator praises Biden&#039;s handling of US economy, but undermines it.\">supporting working families<\/a> through higher taxes on the wealthy and union support, contrasting with Goldman&#8217;s self-description as a pro-working families candidate. The race also drew attention due to Lander\u2019s past activism, including an arrest at an anti-ICE protest, from which he was later acquitted. The primary reflects ongoing ideological battles within the Democratic party, with Lander aligned with more progressive, left-wing candidates winning victories across major U.S. cities recently. There was no Republican primary in this district, and Lander is poised to succeed in the general election against <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/sarah-palin-advances-to-november-election-for-house-seat\/\" title=\"Sarah Palin Advances to November ... for House Seat\">minor party candidates<\/a>.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Former <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/new-york-city\/\">New York City<\/a> Comptroller <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/3913087\/brad-lander-spurns-aipac-campaign-challenge-dan-goldman\/\">Brad Lander<\/a> defeated incumbent Rep. <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/dan-goldman\/\">Dan Goldman<\/a> (D-NY) in the Democratic primary for New York\u2019s 10th Congressional District on Tuesday evening after Mayor <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/zohran-Mamdani\/\">Zohran Mamdani<\/a> endorsed him. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With 42% of the vote counted as of Tuesday evening, Lander took 62.8% of the vote compared to Goldman\u2019s 37%, according to the <em>Associated Press<\/em>.
