HASTINGS-ON-HUDSON, N.Y. ― Sen. Bernie Sanders called upon Democrats in the New York City suburbs to reelect Rep. Jamaal Bowman in order to take a stand against the deep-pocketed super PACs bankrolling Bowman’s primary challenger.
With the support of well-resourced pro-Israel groups who have endorsed him, as well as a cryptocurrency industry super PAC, Latimer now has a double-digit lead over Bowman, according to theSen. Bernie Sanders , left, waves to supporters Friday as Rep. Jamaal Bowman speaks during a reelection rally in Hastings-on-Hudson, New York.
On Saturday, Sanders will also co-headline a rally for Bowman alongside Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez at a park in the South Bronx in an area that will be part of Ocasio-Cortez’s district after the next elections. But among the more affluent and whiter parts of the district, the towns along the Hudson River have historically been redoubts of progressive activism and voting. Bowman carried the village of Hastings-on-Hudson in 2020, when he ousted then-Rep. Eliot Engel, and again in 2022.
“The news of the devastating terrorist attack on innocent Israelis by Hamas horrified all of us, and the humanitarian crisis in Gaza breaks our hearts,” Armacost wrote.Armacost, who is now the only mayor in the district supporting Bowman, is quick to point out that under most circumstances a two-thirds majority is a sweeping victory.“It was clear to me someone had to be blamed,” she told HuffPost earlier this month. “It was my job to absorb that blame in that moment, and that is what I did.
