All those candidates were backed by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and his "machine." Mamdani might object to that characterization of his organization, but it mirrors the old Boss Tweed political machine that ruled New York City and the state of New York and exerted an outsized influence on the country. It has real organizing power, and it has energy and money behind it.

"The Democratic Party is being hijacked by the DSA via Zohran Mamdani," Joseph Hernandez, the Republican nominee for New York state comptroller, said. "I think these people could not be more anti-American."

Indeed, "Leftists who want to abolish prisons, billionaires, and US aid to Israel are spearheading a nationwide 'hostile takeover,' as their critics put it, of the Democratic Party," writes Olivia Reingold and Peter Savodnik in The Free Press.

Darializa Avila Chevalier, a community organizer, has refused to condemn Hamas. She defeated Rep. Adriano Espaillat (D-NY), the Hispanic Caucus chair. Another candidate—Claire Valdez, a state assembly member—won the race to succeed retiring Rep. Nydia Velázquez (D-NY). She "featured anti-Israel demonstrator Mahmoud Khalil, whom the Trump administration has tried to deport, at her campaign launch party; 'Free Palestine' appears on Valdez's campaign signs," Reingold and Savodnik write.

And pro-Israel Democrat Dan Goldman got slaughtered by New York City comptroller Brad Lander 64% to 34%. Goldman was no "moderate." He was a leader of the Progressive Caucus and a liberal icon.

"This election is reckoning with Biden's 'hug Bibi' strategy, which has been a catastrophic failure for Palestinians, for Israelis, for American credibility in the world, and I think it's been bad for the Democratic Party," declared Lander.

"People who do not support the DSA wring their hands at cocktail parties, while the DSA is organizing," Rep. Tom Suozzi (D-NY), the co-chair of the bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus, told Axios.

Suozzi said it is time for the Democrats' moderate wing to "wake up" to the threat posed to them by the democratic socialists.

"Economic insecurity, climate change and immigrant injustice are all real problems, and alternative solutions must be offered. It's time for a great deal of hard work to out organize the extremists on the right and the left!"

The centrist House Democrat who spoke anonymously said the results show that "appeasement doesn't work. You have to be tough. Nancy Pelosi brought a machine gun to a knife fight. You can't win with these guys by playing patty cake."

A senior House Democrat, asked if their colleagues were worried about the results, said: "Yes they are."

Politics is a full-contact sport. I disagree that the Democrats have been "soft" in any way, shape, or form, but the rank and file wants a more Trumpian approach to politics: gloves off, knives out, and no quarter asked or given.
