Trump feels 'sorry' for Dan Goldman after primary loss

President Donald Trump on Wednesday expressed sympathy for Rep. Dan Goldman, D-N.Y., after he lost his primary to a progressive challenger on Tuesday evening.

Goldman decidedly lost to Brad Lander, the former New York City comptroller who had the support of Mayor Zohran Mamdani. The race heavily focused on Israel.

"Even though he tried unsuccessfully to prosecute me, and despite the fact that he is a major Slimeball, I feel sorry for FORMER Congressman Dan Goldman," Trump posted on Truth Social. "He is wandering aimlessly, together with the former husband of the great Kellyanne Conway, through a large field of Dumocrat Communists, trying so hard to find his way - A very sad finish for a man who has no clue, and never did!!!"

Goldman was not the only Democrat to lose his seat to a progressive challenger on Tuesday. Rep. Adriano Espaillat, D-N.Y., who leads the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, also lost to a Mamdani-backed opponent.
