Incumbent Ritchie Torres holds a commanding lead in the Democratic primary for New York’s 15th congressional district due to his established institutional advantages. As the sitting representative since 2021, Torres has secured endorsements from House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, more than a dozen Bronx elected officials, and the New York State United Teachers union, alongside a substantial fundraising edge over challengers. Michael Blake, the most prominent opponent, centers his campaign on differences over foreign policy, particularly Torres’s support for Israel, but this approach has not shifted broader voter or donor support. Dalourny Nemorin and Amanda Septimo remain marginal. The June 23 primary date leaves limited time for reversals, though an unforeseen scandal, health issue, or major polling swing could still alter the outcome before ballots close.
