A primary election in New York is being closely watched for its potential impact on the future of the Democratic party. The election has been marked by controversy surrounding comments made by Mamdani, who referred to AIPAC as "monsters", prompting criticism from some Jewish allies and hundreds of rabbis who accuse him of fueling antisemitism. The outcome of the election has resulted in Mamdani-backed progressives unseating some pro-Israel Democrats, although the full implications of the election are still emerging.
