Rep. Jamaal Bowman Faces Contentious Primary Battle Against George Latimer Amid $14.5M AIPAC Spending
Jun 24, 2024, 12:41 AM
Rep. Jamaal Bowman is facing a highly contentious primary battle against George Latimer, with significant financial backing from pro-Israel groups such as AIPAC. The race has drawn national attention, with high-profile endorsements and rallies featuring progressive figures like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders. The rallies, including one in the Bronx, have been marked by intense rhetoric and disruptions from pro-Palestinian protesters. AIPAC has reportedly spent over $14.5 million, or $17,000 an hour, in an effort to unseat Bowman, who has been a vocal critic of Israeli policies and has called for a ceasefire. Bowman's profanity-laced attacks on AIPAC highlight the deep divisions within the Democratic Party. The primary will serve as a critical test of the influence of pro-Israel lobbying in U.S. politics and the strength of progressive movements within the Democratic Party.
