A new poll shows 'Squad' member Rep. Jamaal Bowman struggling in his reelection bid for a third term.
Rep. Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y., listens to fellow speakers before President Joe Biden speaks on the debt limit during an event at SUNY Westchester Community College, Wednesday, May 10, 2023, in Valhalla, N.Y. A new poll shows “Squad” member Rep. Jamaal Bowman struggling in his reelection bid for a third term.
Mr. Latimer’s lead expands to 21 percentage points, 56% to 35%, among Democrats who voted in at least three of the four most recent primaries. However, 36% of Democrats in the district view Mr. Bowman positively, while 55% hold a negative view of his job performance in Washington. Mr. Mellman spent over $1 million in ads boosting former Rep. Eliot Engel, the veteran Democratic lawmaker whom Mr. Bowman defeated in 2020.
“The work is just starting because we understand that the poll that matters is on Election Day,” a campaign spokesperson said. “We keep gaining momentum because we’re talking about delivering real results, not rhetoric.” Mr. Bowman is known for loud political theatrics off the House floor and found himself in hot water when he pulled a fire alarm in the U.S. Capitol complex while the House was in session.
