In New York's 13th District, a five-term incumbent fell not to the opposing party but to the restless currents within his own. Darializa Avila Chevalier, a socialist challenger backed by Mayor Zohran Mamdani, defeated Adriano Espaillat in Tuesday's Democratic primary — a reminder that political entrenchment is no permanent shelter when the ground beneath a party is shifting. The result speaks less to one race than to a broader renegotiation of what the Democratic coalition believes, and who it trusts to carry that belief forward.
