Hillary Clinton does not often participate in Democratic congressional primaries, but she agrees with George Latimer’s views on Israel. Hillary Clinton, the former Secretary of State, announced her support for George Latimer’s bid in the Democratic primary against U.S. Rep. Jamaal Bowman’s entry into primary politics in New York is a clear indication of the establishment’s dissatisfaction with him. Bowman’s strong stance against Israel’s invasion of Gaza after Hamas’ October. 7 offensive against the nation, which Bowman has labeled as a “genocide,” has resulted in him becoming a prime focus for pro-Israel supporters, external organizations, and local elected Democrats with more centrist views. Clinton tweeted that with Trump running for president, there is a greater need for Democrats in Congress who are strong and principled. She mentioned that Latimer will defend abortion rights and stand against the National Rifle Association. Latimer, the executive of Westchester County, expressed gratitude for Clinton’s endorsement, calling it a great honor. He stated that her voice is adding to the momentum of their grassroots campaign, which continues to grow in strength due to their unwavering commitment to their values and delivering positive outcomes for the communities they represent. Latimer is aiming to defeat Bowman in the Democratic primary for the 163rd Congressional District in New York, which covers lower Westchester County and a portion of the northern Bronx. In a recent poll conducted by Emerson College/PIX11/The Hill, Latimer was ahead of Bowman by a margin of 17 percentage points. This was the first poll of the race that was not carried out by a campaign or affiliated outside group. Clinton’s approval, despite living in a different district, could assist Latimer in gaining the support of moderates. The campaign for New York’s 16th district has been characterized by significant contributions from super PACs, particularly from pro-Israel organizations backing Latimer.
