Aipac rebuffed as Mamdani-backed candidates sweep NYC Democratic primaries

In a surprising turn of events, candidates supported by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani have triumphed in the Democratic primaries, marking a decisive rejection of the pro-Israel lobbying group Aipac's influence. This outcome not only highlights a shift in the political landscape but also signals a growing independence from traditional lobby groups in favor of local leadership. The victories are being celebrated online, indicating a broader acceptance and support for Mamdani's political vision, which seems to resonate more with the current Democratic base in NYC.
