Bowman, a member of the progressive &#8220;Squad,&#8221; suffered a significant\u2062 defeat, with early projections indicating Latimer&#8217;s clear lead shortly after polls closed. Latimer had received endorsements from high-profile Democrats like Hillary Clinton and former\u2064 governor David Paterson, while Bowman was supported by his &#8220;Squad&#8221; colleagues and appeared on various leftist media programs. Pre-election polls had already suggested Bowman&#8217;s likely defeat.<\/p>\n<p>Controversially, Bowman\u2064 held an anti-Israel rally with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, where he used profanity and aggressive rhetoric responding\u200b to a large campaign by \u200cAIPAC against him. He \u2063also accused\u200b Israel of genocide, referencing the military actions in Gaza. This defeat marks the end of Bowman\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/washington-dem-breaks-campaign-promise-takes-cash-from-pelosi\/\" title=\"Washington Dem Breaks Campaign Promise, Takes Cash From Pelosi\">congressional tenure<\/a>, following a campaign\u2064 where his more radical positions were spotlighted.  <\/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<div>\n<figure>                         <\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Class has been dismissed for \u201cSquad\u201d member and Rep.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in the South Bronx. Responding to news that AIPAC, a lobbying group that advocates for pro-Israel policies, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/rep-bowman-says-aipac-see-power-motherf-ing-bronx-during-rally-speech\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">launched<\/a> a $14 million campaign against his reelection bid, Bowman claimed, \u201cWe\u2019re all going to show f-cking AIPAC the power of the motherf-cking South Bronx.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople ask me why I\u2019ve got a foul mouth: What am I supposed to do?

The soon-to-be former New York congressman is best known for pulling a fire alarm in the U.S. Capitol last year to delay a congressional vote.
