Hillary Clinton endorsed George Latimer, the Democratic challenger against Rep. Jamaal Bowman in a competitive House primary in New York. Latimer vows to protect abortion rights, stand up to the NRA, and support President Biden's agenda. Despite Bowman's racism allegations against Latimer, Clinton's endorsement gives momentum to Latimer's campaign. The primary race highlights divisions within the Democratic Party, with far-left progressives opposing Israel's war in Gaza. Bowman is supported by fellow "Squad" members and high-profile senators, while Latimer has allies like former Gov. David Paterson and backing from the United Democracy Project. The race has drawn attention due to the debate over Israel, accusations of radicalism against Bowman, and claims of antisemitism. Bowman's past actions, such as activating a fire alarm during a congressional vote, have also been scrutinized.
