Former Rep. Mondaire Jones lost his comeback bid for his Lower Hudson Valley congressional seat against Rep. Mike Lawler after losing support from former allies. Jones ran on far-left policies but abandoned them this year, alienating himself from progressive groups. He also faced criticism for his inconsistent views on Israel. Union leaders also deserted Jones, with Lawler securing endorsements from national and local unions. Jones's only congressional victory came in 2020, but he lost in a distant third place in the 2022 primary.
