In endorsing Dan Goldman to represent New York's tenth district, the Times has signaled they care more about liberal resistance-style politics than what is, for lack of a better term, identity politics, writes RossBarkan
Photo: Gary Hershorn/Corbis via Getty Images On the first day of early voting ahead of New York’s August 23 Democratic primaries for the House, the New York Times editorial board made its long-anticipated endorsements. For Jerry Nadler, Sean Patrick Maloney, and Dan Goldman, it was the endorsement they likely craved most. For those who lost out — and there were many — it was a serious blow, one they will have to battle to overcome in the next 10 days.
With the exception of Nadler, who was basically forced into running against his colleague, Carolyn Maloney, the choices were surprising. The newspaper often prizes identity and gender when choosing candidates. Its co-endorsement of Elizabeth Warren and Amy Klobuchar in the 2020 Democratic primary was about electing the first female president. In 2021, the Times backed Kathryn Garcia, who was seeking to become the first female mayor of New York.
For the Times, the Maloney decision seemed mostly about the practical reality that he’d make a better general election candidate in a swing district than Biaggi. Maloney has won tough general elections before; Biaggi has only competed in difficult primaries. Biaggi’s “politics are more progressive than those of many of its residents,” the Times argued, also noting she had just moved to the district.
