The Democratic House challengers accused each other of colluding with Republicans.
Rep. Jamaal Bowman, left, and his challenger George Latimer clashed again and again Monday in their first televised debate, hosted by News 12, in the closely watched Democratic primary in the Bronx and Westchester County. | News 12NEW YORK — Sniping, snark and incessant interruptions defined the first televised debate in one of the country’s most competitive primaries Monday night — underscoring the pivotal role the Israel-Hamas war is playing in Democratic politics.
The seat they’re vying for — which includes part of the Bronx and suburban Westchester County — is home to a sizable Jewish community and growing Arab population. And Bowman and Latimer are very far apart on U.S. support for the Israeli government as fighting in Gaza wears on. Latimer, meanwhile, declined to criticize Netanyahu, saying, “I don’t think it’s a question of who’s in power. I think the Israeli people need to see that they have a partner for peace, and they don’t see a partner for peace right now.”
