Trump Delights in George Conway, Dan Goldman Defeats During New York Primaries on Truth Social

President Donald Trump celebrated the defeat of two longtime political adversaries after New York's Democratic congressional primaries, using Truth Social to mock attorney George Conway and Rep. Dan Goldman only hours after the election results became official.

Conway finished last in the crowded race for New York's 12th Congressional District, while Goldman lost his bid for another term after voters chose former New York City Comptroller Brad Lander. Both men have spent years criticizing Trump, making their defeats an immediate target of the president's overnight posts.

Trump praised candidates who prevailed Tuesday night while ridiculing Conway and Goldman in a string of Truth Social messages. Goldman, according to the Associated Press, became one of the president's primary targets because of his prominent role during Trump's first impeachment.

Hours before turning his attention to Goldman, Trump also reveled in George Conway's poor showing in the Democratic primary, portraying the result as a public rejection of one of his most outspoken critics. Conway, a founder of the anti-Trump Lincoln Project, has spent years challenging the president in court filings, television appearances and social media posts, making the latest exchange another chapter in one of Washington's longest-running political feuds.

Conway's rivalry with Trump stretches back to the president's first term, when the conservative attorney emerged as one of his fiercest Republican critics. The public feud frequently spilled onto social media, where the pair traded personal insults for years, even while Conway was married to former Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway.

Goldman also drew repeated attacks from Trump after serving as lead counsel during the House impeachment investigation. The president celebrated the congressman's primary defeat by arguing voters had rejected one of his most persistent political opponents.

Tuesday night's posts reinforced Trump's habit of turning election returns into opportunities to praise allies and ridicule rivals. The exchanges also underscored how personal political feuds continue to shape his public messaging long after the campaigns themselves have ended.
