Navarro Warns Schumer Faces AOC Primary Risk After 3 New York Socialist Wins

1 articles · Updated · Fox News · Jun 26

Summary

  • Three New York primary wins by candidates backed by Mayor Zohran Mamdani prompted Ana Navarro to say Chuck Schumer is in "danger" of a Democratic Senate challenge from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
  • Navarro argued the results strengthened AOC's hand because the victors ran on a younger, more confrontational progressive agenda aligned with Mamdani on economics, Israel and ICE.
  • Chuck Schumer publicly downplayed the upset, telling the New York Post the primaries showed "a great united party" with both centrist and progressive energy that Democrats can harness for November.
  • Hakeem Jeffries also brushed aside talk of infighting, but the New York results sharpened questions about whether the party's left flank could threaten establishment leaders in future primaries.
