This Is the Story of How a Campaign Goes Off the Rails

Exactly one week before the New York state primary, 27-year-old Julia Salazar faced a political candidate’s worst nightmare. She briskly walked away as reporters chased her, shouting questions about a new scandal — her fifth in five months on the campaign trail. This particular controversy involved allegations from her college years. In 2011, Salazar was arrested for impersonating Keith Hernandez’s wife in order to commit bank fraud. Charges were never brought, yet the Daily Mail concluded that she’d had an affair with the former Mets star, also known for his Seinfeld cameos. Over the previous five weeks, Salazar, a Democratic Socialist state senate candidate billed as a rising star in the vein of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, had to explain herself, a lot — for questions about her Jewish identity, for having misled voters about whether she was an immigrant, for her anti-abortion andpro-Israel activism and her very brief stint as a Republican. Just as this story was going to press, she was doing more explaining: Salazar tweeted that she was about to be outed as a sexual assault survivor.
