war has cost the pro-Palestinian New Yorker another endorsement during his reelection campaign in Westchester County.announced Monday his intentions to endorse Bowman’s Democratic opponent, George Latimer, ahead of the primary on June 25. His decision could mark the end of the New Yorkers’ political relationship, while revealing the deeper split in the Democratic Party over the Middle Eastern conflict.
As one of the most progressive lawmakers in Congress, Bowman was one of the first to call for a ceasefire after Hamas attacked Israel and believes the nation’s acts of self-defense amount to genocide. At one point, he called evidence that Hamas raped and sexually abused its victims “propaganda.” Bowman’s legislative actions on the Israel-Hamas conflict come despite his district’s large Jewish population.
More black voters appear to be taking up Latimer and Jones’s case that Bowman is too progressive for Westchester. Last week, the National Black Empowerment Action FundHolocaust survivor Elie Wiesel’s son has also joined the calls for Bowman’s removal. Last week, Elisha Wiesel denounced Bowman in an ad campaign targeting the New York representative for his stance on antisemitism.
