“U.S. Representative Jamaal Bowman has been defeated in a Democratic primary that’s highlighted some of the divisions within his own party when it comes to the Israel-Hamas War. On Tuesday night, Westchester County Executive George Latimer defeated Bowman in a Democratic primary for the seat that covers some of the suburbs north of New York City.”

12. SOUNDBITE (English) Meg Kinnard, The Associated Press:
“One of the most progressive Democrats in the House, Bowman’s defeat could signal some difficulties for others in his party when it comes to messaging around the war. Latimer has been Westchester County Executive since 2018 and is also a former state lawmaker. He says he got into the race at the urging of some Jewish leaders and had backing from high level Democrats in his contest, including Hillary Clinton.”

“How to handle the war between Israel and Hamas played a major role in Bowman’s race, but we also could expect to see it in other contests up and down the ballot. That includes the presidential race this fall, as well as lots of other House and Senate races.”

STORYLINE:
George Latimer’s decisive victory over Rep. Jamaal Bowman in suburban New York dealt the left-flank its first electoral defeat this cycle.
Associated Press reporter Meg Kinnard says it is now raising concerns about how other incumbents might fare in the coming months and whether the progressives party’s recent ascension in Washington is coming to an end.
“One of the most progressive Democrats in the House, Bowman’s defeat could signal some difficulties for others in his party when it comes to messaging around the war,” Kinnard said.
Bowman’s loss also disrupted what has generally been a stable primary season for congressional incumbents.
