But Espaillat, 71, dismissed her defense: \u201cThis is not just some common statement that was made when you were a young person, a teenager, an adolescent. This was just a couple of years ago. And I think it\u2019s irresponsible for someone that has a chronically irresponsible social media to go to Congress. Words really matter.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Avila Chevalier fired back that she had voted for Harris in 2024 and pivoted to an indictment of the modern Democratic Party. \u201cYes, I was critical of Kamala Harris\u2019 record. And I voted for her because like so many Black and brown people, I am someone who has been forced to save the Democratic Party from itself,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd that is because we have had representatives like my opponent who has refused to listen to his constituents, who has refused to actually listen to the will of their Democratic base. And it\u2019s time that we have representatives who actually listen to their Democratic base.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The fiery exchange exemplifies the ideological and generational splits that have defined the race in the Democratic stronghold, which covers parts of Manhattan and the Bronx, and which the party is grappling with in primaries across the country this year.\n    <\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium_large\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Rep.

Political leaders widely condemned the rally in the aftermath of the attack \u2013 and Brad Lander, another Mamdani-endorsed candidate running in New York\u2019s 10th District, said earlier this month that he canceled his membership with the Democratic Socialists of America for promoting it.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cEven Mayor Mandani and Comptroller Lander did not attend this rally,\u201d Espaillat said. \u201cShe went to celebrate the death of innocent people in Israel right after the attack.\u201d\n    <\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/?p=2993\">The 14-point US-Iran peace plan, annotated<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium_large\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Darializa Avila Chevalier speaks during a Democratic primary debate with her opponent, incumbent Rep.

The tear gas that was being dropped on Palestinians in Gaza in 2014 was the same tear gas that was being dropped on Black protesters in Ferguson in 2014,\u201d Avila Chevalier said.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Following the debate, Avila Chevalier media director Natalia Latif stressed that the progressive candidate has taken accountability for the posts and moved forward.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cShe said plainly, \u2018I deeply regret my tweets,\u2019 took ownership, and pivoted to what actually matters: that this district deserves a representative who will fight for affordable housing, fight to abolish ICE, and fight to make sure our tax dollars come back to our communities instead of being spent on forever wars,\u201d Latif said in a statement.\n    <\/p>\n<h2>\n        A test of Mamdani\u2019s endorsement\n<\/h2>\n<p>\n            The race in the 13th District has become widely seen as a proxy battle between the Democratic establishment and the rising democratic socialist contingency \u2013 with Mamdani flexing his influence in the movement.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            At a press conference this month, the mayor explained that he had not seen Avila Chevalier\u2019s posts when he endorsed her. \u201cWhat I\u2019ve heard from her, and what I know a lot of others in the district have heard from her, is that her views have evolved,\u201d he said, continuing to stand by the candidate.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The controversy has echoes of Mamdani\u2019s own anti-establishment mayoral campaign last fall, shaped by his outspoken criticism of Israel\u2019s conduct in Gaza and clashes with former Gov. Andrew Cuomo on the issue.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            And now as mayor, he\u2019s putting his political capital on the line in several New York races where he\u2019s supporting progressive primary challengers.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Mamdani endorsed Lander, his amicable opponent during the mayoral race, in his bid against 10th District incumbent Rep. Dan Goldman, calling Lander \u201ca trusted ally and partner.\u201d And he endorsed state Assemblywoman Claire Valdez\u2019s bid against outgoing Rep. Nydia Vel\u00e1zquez\u2019s chosen successor, Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso, in the 7th District primary.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            But Mamdani has also sought to wield his influence in favor of the Democratic establishment. He discouraged Chi Oss\u00e9, a New York City Council member and longtime political ally, from mounting a primary challenge against House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, and flexed his influence with the state chapter of the Democratic Socialists if America, reportedly urging them against endorsing Oss\u00e9. Oss\u00e9 dropped his bid a few weeks later.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Next Tuesday will mark the first major test of his endorsement as New Yorkers head to the polls to decide whether Avila Chevalier and other members of the city\u2019s growing progressive movement will advance to the general election.\n    <\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/?p=2991\">Dinner at Versailles, alpine air and an Iran agreement: How Trump made it through another G7<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The divides between the Democratic old guard and a new class of progressive challenger were on sharp display on Tuesday night as a congressional candidate in New York\u2019s 13th District apologized for past disparaging remarks about Kamala Harris.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2998,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3005","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
