A slew of far-lefties backed by NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani are surging and defeating moderate incumbents in several high-profile races Tuesday.

Former comptroller Brad Lander won speedily, the race was called by the AP just 7 minutes after polls close. On CNN after the news broke, Lander called for a complete reevaluation of the US-Israel relationship

Zohran Mamdani’s mentee Claire Valdez was set to best the Democratic establishment’s lefty favorite Antonio Reynoso in a big win for the mayor’s socialist staying power.

Congressional and state chamber seats are up for grabs while frustrated Big Apple voters are fed up with Democratic leaders — and want to clean house, according to a stinging pre-election survey.

Polls are now closed.
