"Pro-Israel Democrat Challenges Bowman in Congressional Primary"

Westchester County Executive George Latimer is set to challenge Rep. Jamaal Bowman in the Democratic primary for a suburban New York House seat. The race is expected to become a battleground for Democratic divisions over support for Israel, as Latimer is staunchly pro-Israel while Bowman has supported pro-Palestinian stances. Pro-Israel groups are likely to back Latimer, while Bowman has received early endorsements from fellow Squad member Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the Working Families Party. Latimer, who has a strong record of winning elections, is expected to receive support from local and national Jewish leaders. The race will likely focus on Bowman's stance on Israel, as well as his lack of presence in the district and a recent misdemeanor charge.
