Darializa Avila Chevalier leads trader consensus in the June 23 Democratic primary for New York’s 13th Congressional District, reflecting momentum from progressive endorsements including New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and backing from democratic socialist networks targeting the incumbent. A recent radio debate highlighted sharp differences on ICE enforcement, campaign finance, and foreign policy, while attention to Chevalier’s deleted past social media posts on policing and borders has not reversed her positioning. Adriano Espaillat, the five-term representative, draws on established community ties in Harlem and the Bronx but contends with an intra-party challenge from a community organizer in a district showing leftward shifts. Other candidates register negligible support amid the two-way contest.
