The Democratic primary for New York’s 13th Congressional District remains tightly contested between incumbent Representative Adriano Espaillat and challenger Darializa Avila Chevalier, with trader prices reflecting a narrow edge for the latter. Recent endorsement of Avila Chevalier by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, along with support from the Democratic Socialists of America and Justice Democrats, has narrowed what was previously viewed as a comfortable advantage for the five-term incumbent. The June 23 primary features a district spanning Upper Manhattan and parts of the Bronx, where turnout among progressive and working-class voters could prove decisive. Minor candidates hold negligible shares, leaving the outcome dependent on late-campaign momentum and voter mobilization in the final weeks.
