More than $22 million has been spent in the contentious Democratic congressional primary between two-term incumbent Jamaal Bowman and Westchester County Executive George Latimer.The race has drawn national attention as Bowman, a member of the group of progressive lawmakers in Congress known as "The Squad," attempts to fend of the challenge in a race that has become defined by the war in Gaza between Israel and Hamas.
"Even if we were to get Hamas using these methods, we will just give birth to another generation of extremists," Bowman said. Latimer says that Israel has a right to defend itself and openly condemns the Hamas terrorist attack on October 7, but says that negotiations are incumbent on the president and his team.
