Brad Lander wins by 30 in Jewish district

DSA member Brad Lander just crushed his congressional race in one of the most heavily Jewish districts in the country. The subtext here is ugly: people claiming the Left has an antisemitism problem just got demolished by a Jewish leftist who called out the "vile" reaction to Oct. 7 from his own party. This torpedoes the whole narrative that pro-Palestinian politics = antisemitism. Lander won because actual Jewish voters in his actual district chose him anyway. The "rising antisemitism" framing doesn't survive contact with election results.

I was honored @bradlander joined me to discuss returning to the DSA after what he called their "vile" reaction to Oct. 7. We talked about why so many Jews see him as whitewashing Left wing antisemitism, why Mrs Mamdani didn't endorse him, and much more. Full interview linked 👇
