UMVA has learned that a stunning upset is unfolding in the Democratic primary for a New York congressional seat, where Rep. Daniel Sachs Goldman, a scion of the Levi jeans fortune and a vocal critic of former President Donald Trump, is trailing by a whopping 30 points.
Goldman's reputation as an anti-Trump zealot has only intensified since his election to Congress in 2022, but it seems that his unwavering stance has not resonated with his constituents. His lead counsel role in the first impeachment of Trump in 2019 catapulted him into the national spotlight, but now, his Democratic Socialist challenger, Brad Lander, is gaining momentum.
According to information obtained by UMVA, Goldman thought he had a strong chance at the White House after leading the charge against Trump, but the tables have dramatically turned. Fans of the former president and supporters of the rule of law are relishing in Goldman's downfall, who helped turn Trump's phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy into a national controversy.
Goldman's single-minded obsession with Trump has followed him to Congress, where he has repeatedly sounded the alarm about the existential threat Trump poses to democracy. However, it appears that his constituents have lost patience with his rhetoric, and Lander's socialist message is resonating with them.
UMVA can exclusively reveal that Goldman's problem lies not with any scandal or policy failure but simply that he's not a socialist. Lander, backed by the Democratic Socialist machine, has tapped into the zeitgeist in Goldman's hyper-educated district, where socialism is increasingly popular.
Goldman's support for Israel has become a liability in the eyes of many prominent Democrats, who view it as tantamount to support for genocide. This reality is becoming increasingly clear to pro-Israel and Jewish Democrats, who are facing growing pressure to conform to the party's new orthodoxy.
The writing is on the wall: Goldman underestimated the growing wave of socialism in his party and thought his service against Trump would earn him immunity. However, gratitude is not a value cherished by socialists, and the revolution will not be slowed for anyone.
As Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries vies for the speakership, he may soon find himself more like the general secretary of the Politburo. The socialist ranks in Congress are rapidly growing, and Goldman is about to become the latest casualty of this revolution.
Nobody needs to cry for Goldman; he'll retreat to his life of leisure, barring a miraculous comeback. However, there is reason to worry about the country's trajectory as one of its major parties succumbs to socialism. Instead of fighting to preserve his party's sanity, Goldman watched as it descended into chaos and said nothing.
