Results: Pro-Israel Candidate George Latimer Ousts Anti-Israel “Squad” Member Jamaal Bowman in Westchester Primary

By FrumNews.com 

The results are in: George Latimer has beaten incumbent “Squad” member Congressman Jamal Bowman in the highly contested primary race in Westchester and The Bronx. 

As polls closed in the past hour, all eyes turned to The Bronx and Westchester as the Latimer–Bowman race would be called. This race covers the southern half of Westchester County, including the heavily Jewish communities of Mount Vernon, White Plains, New Rochelle, and Yonkers. 

As previously reported by FrumNews.com reported previously, amid extreme anti-Semitism from Bowman, the Jewish community united to make a massive push for Latimer. A number of Jewish Democratic groups are also pushing Latimer. 

Westchester County, with its vibrant and historic Jewish community of approximately 120,000, is the latest battleground among Democrats as candidates fight over their views during the ongoing war in Gaza. 

Ever since the Millchama broke out in Eretz Yisroel, “Squad” member Rep. Jamal Bowman has been attacking Israel since he won his congressional race in 2020 in a primary upset. 

Since then, Bowman has led the charge, attacking Eretz Yisroel at every turn, especially after the massacre on Simchas Torah by Hamas Terrorists. Almost immediately supporting a resolution calling for a “ceasefire” that made no mention of Hamas or the return of Israeli hostages. Bowman never apologized for denying aspects of the Oct. 7 massacre. He eventually accepted their veracity after a November U.N. report was released.

George Latimer, the popular Westchester County Executive, challenged Rep. Bowman for the 16th Congressional District. Latimer paints himself as a common-sense Democrat who denounces the anti-American extremism that Bowman pushes.
