Despite narrow defeat to Dan Goldman in the state's 10th District, progressive Yuh-Line Niou said her campaign showed"why betting on people is always the right choice."Democratic Party establishment insider Rep. Sean Partick Maloney and multi-millionaire Dan Goldman secured wins in their respective battles in New York's primary on Tuesday, dashing hopes of more progressive challengers in a turbulent year upended by redrawn congressional districts in the state.
In New York's 10th District, a crowded field of progressive candidates—including state assemblywoman Yuh-Line Niou, U.S. Congressman Mondaire Jones, and city council member Carlina Rivera—split progressive-leaning voters to give Goldman, a prosecutor, former legal analyst for MSNBC, and wealthy heir to the Levi Strauss fortune who spent millions on his own campaign, a narrow victory over Niou.
The complexity and contentiousness of this year's primary in New York was largely due to redestricting which led many, including several incumbents like Jones, moving districts and facing large fields of candidates. For his part, Jones opted not to face off against Maloney in the 17th, which opened the door for Biaggi's challenge, but ended up coming in behind both Niou and Goldman in the 10th.
