Mondaire Jones has endorsed George Latimer in the upcoming New York primary against Rep. Jamaal Bowman, scheduled for June 25. This endorsement comes amid a broader debate within the Democratic Party over U.S. policy towards Israel. Bowman, who has called for an end to military aid to Israel, is facing significant opposition from pro-Israel groups, including AIPAC, which is reportedly spending $10 million against him. Jones, a former ally of Bowman, cited Bowman's rhetoric on Israel as a contributing factor to his endorsement of Latimer, emphasizing the need to stand up for the Jewish community. The primary race is taking place in New York's 16th congressional district (NY16) in the Hudson Valley.
AIPAC is spending $10 million against @JamaalBowmanNY because they want to send a message that no criticism of Israel is ever allowed in the US Congress. Now, sell-out @MondaireJones has joined their efforts in attacking Bowman. Shameful. Help Bowman here: https://t.co/XIG2ILi9wh

Mondaire is still salty that no one let him run against Bowman last cycle. This is a move driven by cowardice and a desperate attempt to regain relevance among hawkish AIPAC donors. #NY16 https://t.co/MTSy6MzJB0
