He was down double digits in the polls before AIPAC spent a dollar. He's on track to lose by more than 20 points when all the Westchester votes are in. the money made a difference but at some point you have to acknowledge that the voters made their choice even if you have contempt for them.

just one of the threads that runs through the story: a racist Zionist state, creature of late US colonial policy now owns the government whose racial purposes it was designed to serve

If Bowman is now a lame duck, he's got no reason to play nice.

Why, exactly, is a foreign entity, or lobbyists of a foreign entity, allowed to bribe and influence American politics?

AIPAC better enjoy the next couple years of their death grip on the party because it will be their last. The Zionist project is unsustainable due to their own rabid and unhinged fanaticism.

And now watch that AIPAC money vanish for November. They certainly don't care if the district goes GOP.

I fear that Cori Bush is next. Her opponent has been getting a lot of pro-Israel cash and has a decent chance to upset in MO-01.

The headline's already been turned around and softened, of course. Now it's "Latimer Defeats Bowman in Contentious New York Primary."

That money was ultimately irrelevant. He was going to loose regardless because he is a terrible candidate seriously out of step with his district. In his last primary against 2 no names that spend little he got 54%, and since then he basically torched any Jewish voting base he had

Bowman should run as an independent. There's no downside. Even if it makes a republican win the district (very unlikely), it's not much of a difference between Latimer and a republican. It might also force AIPAC to throw more money into Latimer. The more you make them waste money, the better.

Israel has a tight grip on both our political parties. If there was a headline like this but with any other country, Americans would be up in arms, but here we have massive manipulation of our elections to favor a foreign country and no one bats an eye.
