Summary
Rep. Nancy Pelosi and Rep. Ilhan Omar dodged questions on the growing influence of the socialist movement after three candidates backed by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani won primary elections. The candidates, Darializa Avila Chevalier, Brad Lander, and Claire Valdez, were endorsed by Mamdani and have been critical of Israel’s military campaign in Gaza. Pelosi and Omar refused to answer questions on the matter, while Rep. Hank Johnson welcomed the incoming lawmakers and argued that they oppose the Israeli government, not Israel itself.
