‘Squad’ member Bowman and Latimer get bitter during debate in pricey and contentious New York primary

Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) and Democratic primary challenger George Latimer had a fierce primary debate on Monday as the “Squad” member attempts to hold onto his seat representing the Empire State.

Bowman, alongside other members of the “Squad” such as Reps. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), has been a chief critic of Israel in the House of Representatives, which has garnered him a primary challenge to represent New York’s 16th Congressional District. During the debate, Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza was a contentious topic.
