Traders view the Democratic primary for New York’s 12th congressional district as closely contested, with Micah Lasher holding a modest edge over Alex Bores while Jack Schlossberg trails further back and the remaining field stays fragmented. The market reflects uncertainty over how support will consolidate among Manhattan voters ahead of the primary date. Key factors include candidate fundraising totals, local endorsements, and positioning on housing, transit, and public safety issues that divide the electorate. Scheduled debates or late endorsements could shift momentum and widen the gap between the leading contenders.
