In a stunning upset, Westchester County Executive George Latimer defeated Rep. Jamaal Bowman in the Democratic primary for New York’s 16th District. The victory marks a shift away from the far-left policies advocated by Bowman and his fellow “Squad” members.
Latimer’s win signals a more inclusive approach to politics, as he emphasized the importance of representing all constituents in the Bronx and Westchester. With his victory, Latimer is poised to secure a win in the general election against Republican Madeline Brame.
The outcome of this primary reflects a broader trend in the Democratic Party, as moderate candidates like Latimer are gaining traction over their more progressive counterparts. The race was closely watched by political observers, and Latimer’s win sets the stage for a new chapter in New York politics.
