    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    George Latimer, a pro-Israel centrist, defeated U.S. Rep. Jamaal Bowman on Tuesday in a Democratic primary in suburban New York that highlighted the party’s deep divisions over the war in Gaza.

    Most current members of Congress have been able to repel challenges from within their party, though GOP Rep. Bob Good is in a tight contest with a rival backed by Donald Trump in a race that is too close to call.

    In the final stretch of the race, he rallied with liberals Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Bernie Sanders, while Latimer pulled in the endorsement of former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

    Also on Tuesday, Democratic voters on Long Island picked former CNN anchor John Avlon as the candidate who will challenge incumbent Republican Rep. Nick LaLota in a district that’s been controlled by the GOP for a decade.

    The Long Island congressional district has become a priority for Democrats as the party tries to flip suburban seats in New York as part of a strategy to win a House majority.

    In central New York, two other Democrats are vying to become the party’s nominee to take on U.S. Rep. Brandon Williams, a Republican who represents a recently reconfigured congressional district where President Joe Biden beat Trump by 11 points in the 2020 election.

      Latimer claimed, on CNN, that over 50% of his funding was from people in the district, while over 90% of Bowman’s was from outside. Couldn’t get Bowman’s response to that because he declined CNN’s invite to appear. Is that what Dems need - pols who can’t be bothered to appear on major cable networks?

        Local headquarters or not, AIPAC represents Israel, NOT Bronx.

        while over 90% of Bowman’s was from outside.

        Gonna need a source on that. The ass of a conservative Zionist genocide enabler doesn’t count.

        Couldn’t get Bowman’s response to that because he declined CNN’s invite to appear.

        Probably has better things to with his time than fend off the bad faith questions of billionaire-owned media

        Is that what Dems need - pols who can’t be bothered to appear on major cable networks?

        Much better than a corrupt genocide enabler at any rate.
