Democratic New York Rep. Jamaal Bowman lost a tough primary on Tuesday night that exposed divisions in the Democratic party, defeated by his affluent pro-Israel challenger George Latimer, the Associated Press has projected.
Latimer narrowly defeated Bowman, after entering the race with political clout as the popular county executive for Westchester County. Latimer was also supported by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, which targeted Bowman for his pro-Palestinian views on the war in Israel.
