NBC News projects that Westchester County executive George Latimer defeated Bowman after a bitter and expensive Democratic race in New York’s 16th District.
So I wonder how much this cost AIPAC on a per-vote basis? I suspect that might be a new record for dollars “invested” per vote received?
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Progressive Rep. Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y., lost his primary Tuesday to a moderate challenger who was backed by pro-Israel groups, NBC News projected, following a bitter and expensive race that exposed the party’s divisions.
Nearly $15 million of that spending came from the United Democracy Project, a super PAC linked to the powerful pro-Israel lobby American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), which backed Latimer.
A former Bronx middle school principal, Bowman stormed Washington after unseating 16-term Rep. Eliot Engel, then the chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee and one of the most powerful Jewish lawmakers in Congress, in 2020.
As the Democratic nominee, Latimer will almost certainly be the next congressman from New York’s 16th district, a diverse area north of Manhattan that includes parts of the Bronx and south Westchester County.
Former CNN anchor John Avlon won the Democratic primary to take on GOP Rep. Nick LaLota, NBC News projects.
And Rep Tom Suozzi, who won a special election to take back his old Long Island-based seat, will face former state Assemblyman Mike LiPetri.

Hey look, a genocide supporter.
I banned his ass. Israel lovers gtfo my instance.
Hey look, a guy that doesn’t recognize self-defense by a country that’s been getting attacked for 70+ years.
Totally. Gotta kill those kids and bulldoze those homes and cemetaries, destroy those hospitals, kill those doctors to make sure they don’t attack!
Well when people have been strapping bombs to themselves, blowing up busses, raping your citizens, assassinating your leaders, etc.
But you only want to hear the “woe is Palestine” side of the story.
