“Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-N.Y.) lost his primary election to Westchester County Executive George Latimer, according to AP.
Why it matters: Bowman, a prominent member of the progressive “Squad,” is the first member of Congress to lose their primary to a non-incumbent challenger this cycle.
Rep. Jerry Carl (R-Ala.) lost to fellow Rep. Barry Moore (R-Ala.) the two lawmakers were drawn into the same district
State of play: Bowman has faced more than $17 million in negative ads, mostly from pro-Israel PACs, though the opposition has made scant mention of his criticism of Israel.”
