Mamdani did not orchestrate Lander's run, Lander would won without a 'mayor Mamdani' anyway, and the result was also a large repudiation of the RW billionaire-funded AIPAC and the Israeli lobby overall constant attempts to put their anti-progressive thumbs on the scale in our Democratic primaries and in general elections where they endorse Rethug MAGAts.
The war criminal Netanyahu and his ultra RW war criminal government's butchery, genocidal/ethnic clesnsing actions and expansionism in Gaza, the West Bank and Lebanon, etc have turned the US electorate overall (especially indies and even more so Democrats) against Israel and in favour of the Palestinian people.
Also, NY-10 itself is VERY progressive. The only reason Goldman first won (in 2022) was because so many progressives foolishly all ran and split the vote, allowing Goldman to win the seat by winning only 25.8 per cent of the vote in the primary.

In 2024, no serious candidate ran against Goldman, and yet he still only got 66.1 per cent of the vote in the primary.
In 2026, once Lander got in, no other major progressive ran against him (and Goldman) in the primary, so Lander easily beat Goldman.
