 Election 2024 on WTOP. New York Democratic Congressman Jamal Bowman has actually become the first member of the progressive group called the Squad to lose a primary challenge this election cycle. He was beaten this week by a more moderate and much older candidate, Westchester County Exec George Latimer, who's 70. The race largely hinged on the two Democratic candidates opposing views about the Israel-Hamas war. Bowman had called early on Israel's actions in Gaza genocide.
