为何重要:同一社会主义运动在纽约市长佐兰·马姆达尼(Zohran Mamdani)上台后,如今正辩论是否在洛杉矶选民投票前与尼蒂亚·拉曼(Nithya Raman)划清界限。
A fight over Israel is fracturing the socialist movement just as it stands within reach of capturing the Los Angeles mayor's office Why it matters: The same socialist movement celebrating its ascendancy through New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is now debating whether to disown Nithya Raman before Los Angeles voters can even weigh in.

• The Los Angeles chapter of DSA still enthusiastically endorses Raman, arguing Angelenos deserve a functioning city government.
- 市长竞选的焦点是无家可归、住房负担和公共安全。
