We begin with that breaking news out of New York today. One of the most

progressive Democrats in Congress is now out of a seat. CNN projects George Latimer has now unseated Jamal Bowman in a

historic and bitter primary in New York 16th Congressional District.

Pro Israel groups had backed Latimer a moderate and funneled millions of dollars into

this race to unseat Bowman and they were successful. It is the most expensive

House primary race in all of American history.

Now, this could have implications far beyond

just this 16th district in New York.

It's not just a local race we're talking about.

For one, it shows just how divided the party is on Israel's more in Gaza, which is a critical issue that his frankly dog Democrats and President Biden's reelection bid.

Bowman, a two-term progressive, has been one of the loudest critics of Israel's war.

Now Latimer on the other hand he's expressed support for Israel.

Though to be clear this election had a lot of other dynamics at play it was not a one-issue

race with Latimer accusing Bowman of caring more about his national profile

than his local constituents here's Latimer on that point just last hour on CNN.

When you lose touch with your district, when you're not on the ground enough, and when you're

more concerned about your national profile that you're on, you know, the major

media outlets, but you're not in the neighborhoods that you need to be in, all the neighborhoods you need to be in,

then you lose the focus and you lose support in your district.

Well, nationally this is an undeniable blow to the party's progressive wing.

And Bowman is now the first member of the Congresswoman AOCs led squad to lose a primary challenge this cycle.

Now there's a lot of coverage on all this ahead and a lot more races to go.
