Westchester County Executive George Latimer has defeated incumbent Rep. Jamaal Bowman in a highly contentious Democratic primary for New York's 16th Congressional District. The race, which concluded on Tuesday night, was marked by significant spending from outside groups, including an unprecedented $18 million from AIPAC and its super PAC. Latimer, a pro-Israel centrist, garnered 55.7% of the vote, while Bowman, a member of the 'Squad' and a Democratic Socialists of America member, received 44.3%. The primary highlighted deep divisions within the Democratic Party over issues such as the war in Gaza and accusations of racism and antisemitism. Bowman is the first 'Squad' member to lose a primary election. This contest became the most expensive House primary in history.
