Politics,The Squad,Jamaal Bowman,Elections,Democratic Party
An increasingly contentious Democratic Party battle between a member of the far-left "Squad" in Congress and his more moderate challenger that spotlights the party's deep divisions over the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza is taking center stage on Tuesday as New York, Colorado and Utah hold primaries.
And the race between two-term Rep. Jamaal Bowman and Westchester County executive George Latimer in New York's 16th Congressional District, which covers southern Westchester County [in suburban New York City] and a small portion of The Bronx, is already in the record books as the most expensive congressional primary in the nation's history.
