Bowman and Latimer Clash in Fierce Primary Battle
Latimer Challenges Bowman's Progressive Stance
Clinton Endorses Latimer, Adding to Bowman's Woes
A high-stakes political clash is brewing in New York's 16th Congressional District, as incumbent Representative Jamaal Bowman faces a formidable challenge from Westchester County Executive George Latimer.
Latimer, a progressive pro-Israel candidate, has accused Bowman of abandoning the district's Jewish constituents by refusing to take a clear stance on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Bowman, a member of the progressive "Squad" in the House of Representatives, has been vocal in his support for Palestinian rights and has criticized Israel's treatment of Palestinians.
The primary election on June 25 is expected to be close, with Latimer receiving a significant endorsement from former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
