Jamaal Bowman Loses House Race in Suburban New York
Bowman's Defeat Marks Setback for Progressive Movement
Pricy Bid to Unseat Bowman Ends in Disappointment
NEW YORK - Democratic Representative Jamaal Bowman was defeated in a suburban New York race on Tuesday, marking a setback for the progressive movement. The historically expensive bid to unseat Bowman is entering its final frantic hours as a Latimer said the results of Bowmans.
Bowman, the first member of the progressive "Squad" to lose a House race, was defeated by Republican Mike Lawler in a district that includes parts of Westchester and Rockland counties. The race was seen as a referendum on the progressive wing of the Democratic Party, which has faced criticism for its stance on Israel and other issues.
Bowman, a gregarious former middle-school principal, is no stranger to intraparty fights. He won his seat four years ago by upsetting an incumbent Democrat in a primary.
