The American Israel Public Affairs Committee’s political action committee spent nearly $15 million on the primary, filling airwaves and mailboxes with negative ads in an effort to unseat Bowman, who has accused the influential pro-Israel lobbying group of trying to buy the race.

“The outcome in this race once again shows that the pro-Israel position is both good policy and good politics — for both parties,” the American Israel Public Affairs Committee said in a statement.

15 fucking million dollars, and AIPAC claims this primary shows voters support Israel...

Fuck any politician who takes a dime in bribes from a foreign country. I'm never voting for anyone that takes AIPAC money, regardless of what letter is by their name.

It's a big tent, but it doesn't have room for genocide.

Foreign interference in US elections works.

Congratulations to all pro-genocide centrists. Netanyahu bought you a candidate.

EDIT: three articles about this so far. When anti-genocide candidates lose, this community is where the party's at.

Latimer pulled in the endorsement of former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

Holy shit just fuck off to obscurity you POS. Nobody wants to hear from you. All the power you've wielded and you've done NOTHING good with it. Americas marge thatcher

~~Pro-Israel Centrist~~ genocide-denying conservative sponsored by the fascist apartheid regime currently committing genocide

There, fixed it for them

Dem leadership silently smiling and counting their money.

Just another example of how, if you're even marginally out of the mainstream of politics, you will be perpetually disappointed with our government.

Bowman should run as an independent.

Once again Democrats back and push for a conservative in the primary. Really fucking sad and why I'll never donate to the party ever again.

Are there odds this guy flips to being an R if he wins the general?

This is the best summary I could come up with:

George Latimer, a pro-Israel centrist, defeated U.S. Rep. Jamaal Bowman on Tuesday in a Democratic primary in suburban New York that highlighted the party’s deep divisions over the war in Gaza.

Most current members of Congress have been able to repel challenges from within their party, though GOP Rep. Bob Good is in a tight contest with a rival backed by Donald Trump in a race that is too close to call.

In the final stretch of the race, he rallied with liberals Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Bernie Sanders, while Latimer pulled in the endorsement of former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

Also on Tuesday, Democratic voters on Long Island picked former CNN anchor John Avlon as the candidate who will challenge incumbent Republican Rep. Nick LaLota in a district that’s been controlled by the GOP for a decade.

The Long Island congressional district has become a priority for Democrats as the party tries to flip suburban seats in New York as part of a strategy to win a House majority.

In central New York, two other Democrats are vying to become the party’s nominee to take on U.S. Rep. Brandon Williams, a Republican who represents a recently reconfigured congressional district where President Joe Biden beat Trump by 11 points in the 2020 election.
