Progressive insurgent Jamaal Bowman was leading Rep. Eliot Engel (D-N.Y.) by double digits in one of the most heavily anticipated primaries of the year on Tuesday as officials continued to count votes.

Bowman, a former middle school principal who's seen a late surge in the polls and fundraising, garnered 61 percent of the vote early Wednesday morning with 85 percent of precincts reporting. Engel, a 16-term incumbent, trailed in second with 36 percent of the vote.

I think it is funny all the Whitey Democrats whom talk about "Diversity" are losing to people of color. The 16th Congressional District of NY encompasses the northern Bronx and Westchester south of the Cross Westchester Expressway. The district is only 32% white.

As I said earlier today:

I’m surprised Engel lasted this long before his constituents dumped him. He doesn’t represent the people of his district. He represents Israel.

Pelosi is gonna love this Engel clown in her caucus.

Officials continued to count votes ? How many Billions of mail-in votes did they get ? LOL

So going from worse to worser? Sounds like it. Pander bear losing to ‘one of them’.

I don’t care that they’re voting based on the color of the candidates skin. I care that they continue to blindly vote communists in.

It will be funny when the smartest demonrats get primaried out by loose-cannon dumbasses.

[DIRTYSECRET]

What it means is that we won’t know the results in November.

[Buckeye McFrog]

The establishment Democrats are losing their grip on the party. Surely a man in Biden’s condition won’t be able to maintain it.

His political roots are in the Leftist Working Families Party in NY. Like the Democratic Socialists they insert themselves into the Democrats (like Obama did) so they don’t have to run on their Marxist roots. Bowman is taking full advantage of the Leftist inspired BLM moment.

Yep. The chickens are coming home to roost for the self hating white demonrats. Now they’ll see what it means to be put against the wall. “He who rides the tiger”....

[fortheDeclaration]

We want that! The Democrat Party needs to drop any pretense of moderation.
