Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton waded into the New York 16th Congressional District race by endorsing incumbent Rep. Jamaal Bowman‘s (D-NY) primary challenger, a move that conflicts with progressives rallying around their fellow “Squad” member.

In a social media post on Wednesday, Clinton announced she was backing Westchester County Executive George Latimer, a centrist Democrat who is hoping to unseat Bowman as the Democratic nominee during the June 25 primary.
