House Democrat becomes the first Squad member ever defeated in a primary battle
He had the support of Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, but Rep. Jamaal Bowman loses a primary battle where Israel's war in Gaza was a top issue

Head for the (fire) exit!
Westchester County Executive George Latimer sent Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) packing from Congress Tuesday night, easily winning the 16th District’s Democratic primary over the far-left “Squad” member.
Latimer, 70, will be heavily favored to defeat Republican Madeline Brame in the Nov. 5 election to represent the deep-blue Bronx and Westchester constituency.
Bowman’s four-year House tenure will come to an end following the most expensive congressional primary ever in terms of ad spending – a race which pitted pro-Bowman groups like Justice Democrats and the Working Families Party against an alliance of moderates turned off by the incumbent’s stances, mainly on Israel.

So AOC’s endorsement ain’t worth sh1t!
Nor is Hakeem Whatsisname’s.
Lesser of evils... I agree with you
Now if we could just get rid of the rest of the ‘squad’ of morons.
Well I sure hope so because he comes off as a guy who's stupid enough to purposely pull a fire alarm... On video no less.
If they’re stupid enough to give Joy Reid her own show, I wouldn’t be surprised they’d give Bowman a show. Working title is “Fire Drill with Jamaal Bowman”
Heh! Good one!
The globalists can't have that. They need to keep up the pretense that it's a legitimate government staffed with professionals.
Jamaal, We Hardly Knew Ye!
👍👍
That's funny!! 🤓
He will have more time to spend playing with fire alarms now.
<< This should be a wake-up call to Progressives. Their candidates are getting screwed >>
How exactly did Bowman got screwed? He got voted out for being a complete nutjob. But don’t you worry, your other squad bedfellows are probably safe for now.
He will have more time to spend playing with fire alarms now.
A super PAC that is allied with AIPAC contributed $14 million to Latimer. The Israel/Palestinian divide within the Democrat Party isn’t going away anytime soon.
The jerk finally got his payback!
He didn’t lose because he was a nut job, he lost because he spoke out against AIPAC.
I don’t care that he lost per se, just pointing out that now you have another potential Congressman who’ll put foreign interests ahead of his constituents.
Time to expel him for the alarm stunt. Show the dems we’re not messing’ around.
C’mon. Bowman could have pulled 100 fire alarms and still won in a landslide.
He lost because he didn’t kiss the ring.
Maybe not. Looks like Cori Bush is in trouble, too. See https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4464073-cori-bush-trailing-democratic-primary-challenger-by-22-points-poll/
