The congressman, who lost to George Latimer, was the first “squad” member to fall, in a painful defeat for the Democratic left.

Representative Jamaal Bowman of New York, a member of the House’s left-wing “squad,” was defeated by George Latimer in a race that exposed Democratic fissures.

A pro-Israel political group has spent millions to defeat Representative Jamaal Bowman of New York.

The high stakes of Bowman’s primary make his carelessness especially frustrating.

Mr. Bowman faces George Latimer in a House primary in New York that will test the party’s views on Israel and the strength of its left-wing faction.

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Senator Bernie Sanders rallied with Jamaal Bowman on Saturday, three days before the primary on Tuesday.

The deluge in outside spending, which also includes another $1 million from another pro-Israel group, threatens to sink Representative Jamaal Bowman.

The accusations by Representative Jamaal Bowman infused an element of unpredictability into the final days of a contest that has largely been defined by differences over the war in Gaza.

Representative Jamaal Bowman of New York told members of the socialist group that his views on Israel aligned with theirs, and insisted that he never quit the group, despite earlier claims.

Mondaire Jones, a fellow Black progressive who entered Congress with Mr. Bowman after the 2020 election, is endorsing Mr. Bowman’s challenger, George Latimer.
