Progressive Jamaal Bowman loses New York House Democratic primary

Congressman Bowman defeated by George Latimer, backed by pro-Israel groups in most expensive House primary ever

Jamaal Bowman, the progressive Democratic congressman whose criticism of Israel's war on Gaza made him a target for pro-Israel lobbying groups, lost his primary race on Tuesday night.

The Democratic primary in New York's 16th district became the most expensive House primary in history after Bowman was challenged by George Latimer, a pro-Israel centrist.
