Half-hearted Efforts by Democratic Leaders Couldn’t Save Jamaal Bowman From AIPAC’s Attacks

The most expensive Democratic House primary in history concluded Tuesday, as New York Rep. Jamaal Bowman lost his seat amid massive spending from the pro-Israel lobby aimed at sidelining progressives in Congress.

Polls in the Bronx and Westchester closed at 9 p.m., and results were announced within the hour. The Associated Press and The New York Times calling the race for Westchester County Executive George Latimer before 10 p.m. Polling in the race, including one funded by consultants working against Bowman, suggested that he was heading for a loss. Bowman’s internal polling showed him leading by one point.
