Congressman Jamaal Bowman leaves home in Yonkers after election defeat
A left-leaning political revolution that swept over New York City’s sleepy northern suburbs in 2018 and 2020 has recededThe liberal activism unleashed in reaction to Donald Trump’s 2016 election and presidency has taken a nosedive in four years – with the hard-left incumbents and candidates defeated and Democrats taking a hard swing toward the center in major races.
Biaggi, who won a Bronx-Westchester state Senate after upsetting former Senator Jeff Klein in 2018, lost 2-to-1 in the Democratic primary for Congress against Sean Patrick Maloney in the Hudson Valley in 2022., who abandoned his 17th CD in the lower Hudson Valley in 2022 following redistricting, lost in a primary to moderate Dan Goldman in the 10th CD covering downtown Manhattan and Brooklyn. He is now mounting a comeback for his old seat held by first-term GOP incumbent Rep. Mike Lawler.
Some of the liberal voices were amplified during Trump, he said, because some Democrats were pushing to vote “as far away from Trump as humanly possible.” Jacobs said Democratic voters are “clearly rejecting extremism” while claiming Republican Party is embracing it by renominating Trump for president.“This trend debunks the Republican’s false narrative that the Democrats are the party of the Far Left. We are not,” Jacobs said. “We respect their views, but we are a moderate party that promotes common sense solutions to the real everyday challenges facing our state’s and nation’s voters.
