The 2026 Democratic primary to replace longtime New York City representative Jerry Nadler has attracted numerous high-profile candidates. Michael Bloomberg endorsed state assemblyman Micah Lasher, a former aide who worked in Bloomberg's City Hall administration. Bloomberg plans to support Lasher with extensive media advertising across television, mail, and online platforms, spending millions of dollars. Nadler previously endorsed Lasher, viewing him as his political protégé. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi endorsed internet commentator Jack Schlossberg, the 33-year-old grandson of JFK, and has recorded an advertisement for him. The crowded field also includes state assemblymember Alex Bores and lawyer George Conway, a prominent Trump critic. Endorsements are expected to play a significant role in determining the race's outcome.
