Show Notes
In the final stretch of New Yorks twelfth Congressional District race, a high-profile rally on the West Side showcases the intense competition. With just 100 days until the Democratic primary, retiring Congressman Jerrold Nadler endorses Assemblymember Micah Lasher, drawing significant political weight. The district, covering Manhattans Upper East and West Sides plus Midtown, is a hotly contested House seat.
Former Mayor Michael Bloomberg pledges five million dollars to support Lashers campaign, while Lasher vows to take a strong stance against the current administration if elected. Meanwhile, Assemblymember Alex Bores faces over a million dollars in attack ads from a tech-backed super PAC, criticizing his past work with Palantir and calls for AI regulation. Bores argues New Yorkers deserve a say in AI development.
Other candidates include social media influencer Jack Schlossberg, attorney George Conway known for anti-Trump commentary, and scientist Nina Schwalbe gathering signatures on the Upper West Side. Schwalbe capitalizes on voter concerns over health issues linked to Robert F. Kennedy Junior, now serving as Health and Human Services secretary.
With nine Democrats remaining after five dropped out, the primary remains wide open as campaigns intensify.
