President Trump posted multiple messages on Truth Social criticizing the victories of three socialist-backed candidates in New York City congressional primaries. " The three winners secured nominations in the 7th, 10th, and 13th congressional districts.
Each candidate defeated an incumbent Democrat and will run unopposed or against minimal opposition in solidly Democratic areas.
Primary results One candidate defeated five-term Representative Adriano Espaillat in the 13th District by three and a half points. The winner had previously posted statements calling for the abolition of ICE, an end to all deportations, and government seizure of private property.
A second candidate, currently serving in the New York State Assembly, won the 7th District primary by a wide margin against the retiring incumbent's preferred successor. The third candidate defeated Representative Dan Goldman in the 10th District.
Trump response Trump also posted that Goldman "just lost, BIG" and that voters rejected him for "illegally targeting President TRUMP." In a separate message, Trump contrasted his own 16-0 record in recent primaries with the media coverage given to the New York results. The White House declined to comment further on the primary outcomes.
