The recent New York City congressional primaries sent shockwaves through the Democratic Party establishment. 
Brad Lander, Darializa Avila Chevalier and Claire Valdez — all three backed by Mayor Zohran Mamdani and the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) — toppled their centrist opponents earlier in June, a major warning sign to the donor and professional political class in Washington, D.C. 
Democrats face yet another moment of reckoning, as neck-and-neck primaries pitting centrists against insurgents unfold Tuesday.
