In a significant upset in the US midterm elections, candidates backed by progressive leader Mamdani have secured key victories in New York's Democratic primary. Mamdani, a prominent figure in the Democratic Socialists of America, has been instrumental in shaping the party's leftward shift. The primary results mark a major win for the progressive wing of the party, which has been gaining momentum in recent years. The outcome is likely to send shockwaves through the party establishment and set the stage for a contentious general election in November.
