Jamaal Bowman, a Democrat \u2062from New \u200dYork and \u200ca member \u200dof the progressive &#8220;Squad,&#8221; held a\u2062 campaign event in the \u2064Bronx with Sen. Bernie \u200bSanders \u2064and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. This event \u2064took place \u200cjust days before \u2064Bowman&#8217;s challenging\u200d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/top-republican-leader-slams-marjorie-taylor-greene-a-cancer-for-the-republican-party\/\" title=\"Top Republican Leader Slams Marjorie Taylor Greene: A \u2018Cancer For The Republican Party\u2019\">primary election<\/a> against Westchester \u200bCounty Executive George Latimer. RealClearPolitics polling from \u2064earlier in the month shows \u200bBowman trailing Latimer\u200b by 17 percentage points. A significant issue in the campaign has been the war\u2062 in Gaza, particularly \u2062following Bowman&#8217;s early call\u200d for a ceasefire after the October 7, 2023, attack by Hamas on Israel. Latimer&#8217;s\u200c campaign has since received $14 million from the American Israel\u200b Public Affairs Committee\u200c (AIPAC). During \u2064the \u200cevent, Sanders criticized billionaire influences and super PACs for undermining American democracy, while Ocasio-Cortez denounced big-money interests including AIPAC \u2064and Wall Street,\u2063 emphasizing their lack of concern for\u200c local constituents in the Bronx and Westchester. Ocasio-Cortez also highlighted the racial and financial \u2063dynamics in the \u2063campaign, suggesting that the vast financial support for Bowman&#8217;s opponent is partly driven by \u2063special interests aligned with \u200cconservative agendas.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Rep. <a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/jamaal-bowman\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Jamaal Bowman<\/a> (D-NY) hosted a campaign event Saturday in the Bronx, New York, with Sen. <a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/bernie-sanders\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Bernie Sanders<\/a> (I-VT) and Rep. <a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/alexandria-ocasio-cortez\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez<\/a> (D-NY), just three days before his primary election.<\/p>\n<p>Bowman, a member of the progressive \u201cSquad\u201d in the House of Representatives, is facing a tough primary challenge from Westchester County Executive George Latimer. <em>RealClearPolitics<\/em> polling <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realclearpolling.com\/polls\/house\/democratic-primary\/2024\/new-york\/district-16\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>data<\/a> from earlier this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/pres-george-w-bush-gives-actor-matthew-mcconaughey-advice-for-running-for-texas-governor\/\" title=\"Pres.
