George Latimer Defeats Rep. Jamaal Bowman with 68.9% in Most Expensive House Primary
Jun 26, 2024, 01:34 AM
In a closely watched race, George Latimer has defeated incumbent Rep. Jamaal Bowman in the Democratic primary for New York's 16th Congressional District. The primary, which highlighted divisions within the Democratic Party over U.S. policy on Israel and the Israel-Hamas war, saw Latimer, a pro-Israel centrist, secure a decisive victory with 68.9% of the vote compared to Bowman's 31.1%. The race was marked by significant financial backing, making it the most expensive House primary in history. Bowman, a member of 'The Squad' and known for pulling a fire alarm in Congress, faced a strong challenge from Latimer, who was supported by AIPAC. The campaign also included accusations of racism against Latimer. This defeat makes Bowman the first member of 'The Squad' to lose a primary election.
