Let’s see if the Democrstic Party holds to their unofficial stance that this race is effectively a referendum on the party’s future.

I wouldn't count on it. Party elites are notoriously resistant to any kind of positive change. The only way we can change the Dem Party is by forcing it to change - by ensuring progressive candidates like Mr. Mamdani continue to win going forward.

Hopefully, the strained democracy of the US will hold up long enough for that to matter.

Yeah we as a society need to start treating primaries with respect and actually showing up to vote for those.
