Progressive groups like Citizen Action saw mixed results on primary night last week.

Their preferred candidates for governor and lieutentant, Cynthia Nixon and Jumaane Williams, lost to the incumbents, Andrew Cuomo and Kathy Hochul.

And in Cuomo's case, it was a decisive victory, with about 65 percent of Democrats picking him over Nixon.

But in the state senate primaries, six of the IDC challengers backed by Citizen Action won their races.

Jess Wisneski and Rosemary Rivera from Citizen Action explain further.
