I know the mayor supported the winner but this outcome was a surprise (to me) given Goldmans high profile.

The votes represent the locals. Of course, there are differing opinions in a big tent.

MSM reported yesterday and today, the anti-Netanyahu sentiment is very motivating.

(8,034 posts)9. I think the OP was asking why an incumbent was defeated
Goldman has a record for defending the nation from Trumps assault on the Constitution, yet he lost. Just wondered why the voters decided on a different candidate. Its a good question. I thought DUers who are in or closer to the district might offer an answer.
