Thread tracking Rep Bowman in this election year
Not great, Bob!
What was he starstruck by? Finkelstein's book "The Holocaust Industry" whose talking points every antisemite knows by heart?
There's an enthusiasm gap in this primary
Bowman has one of the largest Jewish constituencies in America, with over 200,000 Jews, many of whom have family in Israel, in his district. He knows he is unpopular with them.
Last night, the IDF rescued two hostages.
This is what Bowman wrote an hour after it was announced.
Not content to do 9/11 conspiracies, Rep. Bowman also engages in mass rape denial following Hamas's invasion of Israeli towns. Does he know how many of his constituents have family in Israel and heard it first hand from survivors? I think he will find out
First polling I've seen of Bowman's primary. Hint: this is really bad for Bowman
No adjustment to Bowman's campaign. He is telling voters to associate him with the squad and his opposition to Israel. I'm sure if he loses there will be no reflection on campaign strategy, just that nefarious AIPAC which right now is a "paper tiger."
Lots of leftists will have their narrative about what cost Bowman his primary (hint: Jewish money) but if he actually loses it will be because he is running a bad campaign and his opponent is running a good one.
Iran directly fired ballistic missiles and drones at Israeli population centers. Today Congress is condemning that attack. Bowman voted against it. Voters in NY-16 should be aware that their representative sides with America's enemies.
When the write ups for Bowman's primary are made, leftists will fixate on money, but they'll never acknowledge Bowman's complete disinterest in talking to Jewish constituents who disagree with him, and how that takes him to stupid places.
Bowman hosts a fundraiser outside of his district with a CAIR leader who praised Hamas's mass murder on October 7. This is an easy self-own to avoid, but it seems clear that Bowman wants to be associated with such people.
Latimer picks up another Democratic club endorsement. This follows the endorsements from Democratic committees from Eastchester, Rye City, Rye Town, White Plains, Pelham, Mamaroneck, Harrison, Scarsdale, Greenburgh, Yonkers and Mount Vernon.
Bowman's love of conspiracy theories apparently continues to the present day.
Bowman plays coy about whether Israel should continue to exist as a Jewish majority state. This will surely play well with his Jewish constituents.
Bowman deploys classic antisemitic stereotypes to talk about the pro-Israel lobby AIPAC and its role in Congress. This will do wonders to correct the impression that he believes antisemitic conspiracies.
Latimer racks up more endorsements from Democrats, this time in Bowman's home turf.
Bowman previously opposed BDS.
Struggling with Jewish voters ahead of a heated primary, he opts to endorse BDS to secure support from a socialist party.

Bowman says October 7 was a provoked attack because Israel is an "apartheid" state. Messaging designed to antagonize Jewish voters.
Independent polling shows Latimer continues to lead over Bowman, though with a large chunk of undecided remaining.
Hillary Clinton, who enjoys strong support in Westchester and has a residence there, endorses Latimer over Bowman.
Bowman continues to double down on antisemitic tropes ahead of his primary.
Latimer continues to rack up endorsements, this time from the leader of the NY State Democratic party
Bowman is giving up on trying to persuade voters he has alienated and is focusing instead on a turnout strategy designed to increase youth turnout.
Good summary in @J_Insider on how thoroughly Bowman has alienated his Jewish constituents
jewishinsider.com/2024/06/rep-ja…
@J_Insider With early voting already underway, Bowman finally apologizes for denying that Hamas systematically raped Israeli women and calling that propaganda. Probably would have been wiser to do this sooner.
Jews in NY-16 are mobilizing the community to get out and vote.
"People feel like antisemitism is on the ballot and they feel like, for the first time, we are a community at risk.”
Bowman has a GOTV rally a week into voting being underway. It was on Shabbat when many of his more religious Jewish constituents wouldn't be able to view it.
It was... interesting.
Betting markets are expecting a Latimer win
News sites begin to project Latimer as winner
