Here in New York, Westchester County Executive George Latimer has defeated progressive Congressmember Jamaal Bowman following the most expensive primary race in U.S. history. Latimer was encouraged to launch his primary challenge for New York’s 16th Congressional District by the Democratic Majority for Israel political action committee, after Bowman repeatedly called for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and accused Israel of genocide. Outside spending in the race topped $23 million, much of it from pro-Israel groups like AIPAC. Other supporters of Latimer included Onward Together, Hillary Clinton’s PAC; and Nelson Peltz, a Republican billionaire who’s backing Donald Trump for the presidency. Jamaal Bowman spoke to supporters after his primary defeat Tuesday evening.

Rep. Jamaal Bowman: “This movement has always been about justice. It has always been about humanity. It has always been about equality. And it was always — has always been about our collective liberation.”
