Bowman Faces Tough Primary Challenge as Poll Shows Narrow Lead for Latimer
Race Exposes Deep Democratic Divisions
Incumbent Congressman Jamaal Bowman is facing a tough primary challenge from Westchester County Executive George Latimer, with a recent poll showing a narrow lead for Latimer. The poll, conducted by Emerson College from June 6 to June 8, found that 48% of likely voters planned to back Latimer, while 45% planned to support Bowman.
The poll was commissioned by a group backing Latimer, and it is worth noting that other polls have shown a different outcome. However, the latest poll suggests that the race is close and that Bowman could be vulnerable in the June 2024 Democratic primary.
The high stakes of Bowman's primary make his recent carelessness especially frustrating. Bowman has been criticized for spending campaign funds on questionable expenses, and he has also been involved in a number of scandals.
