WHITE PLAINS, New York — Incumbent Rep. Jamaal Bowman is running for a third term in Congress benefitting from the endorsements of the top House Democratic leaders and his own ubiquitous presence in Washington, on cable news and on social media. But as he fights for his political survival here in a district north of Manhattan, the progressive firebrand and member of “The Squad” is turning to the same primary strategy that helped him topple veteran Democratic Rep.
Some of UDP’s biggest donors have typically given to Republican candidates and groups, which is why Bowman said his opponent is backed by “MAGA Republican billionaires.” “I have felt antisemitism from him. I felt such a strong degree of antagonism towards the Jewish community and its leadership that, yes, it feels antisemitic and insensitive,” White Plains Councilman Justin Brasch, one of the local officials who endorsed Latimer at the campaign event, said in an interview.
