Jamaal Bowman Faces Fierce Challenge in High-Stakes New York Primary

The progressive congressman battles centrist George Latimer amid record-breaking spending and deep party divisions over Israel.

Bowman, a member of the Squad, is fighting for his political career against Latimer, backed by high-profile figures and significant funding from pro-Israel groups.
The primary has become a litmus test on the Democratic Party's stance on Israel, with Bowman advocating for Palestinian rights and calling for a ceasefire in Gaza.
Polls show Bowman trailing Latimer by a significant margin, with heavy outside spending contributing to the most expensive House primary in history.
Latimer's campaign has capitalized on Bowman's controversial statements and actions, including his criticism of Israel and past scandals.
The outcome of the primary could have wide-reaching implications for the influence of progressive politics within the Democratic Party.
