Former Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) lost his primary election to Rep. George Latimer (D-NY), and former Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) lost to Rep. Wesley Bell (D-MO). Both Bowman and Bush were heavily targeted by pro-Israel AIPAC, which spent millions campaigning against them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Justice Democrats did not specify which Democrats it is seeking to unseat, but the organization&rsquo;s spokesman, Usamah Andrabi, said it is trying to &ldquo;keep every <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">deep blue district&#038;rdquo<\/a>; as an option.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Nominations and conversations with the communities will guide the priorities, as well [as] how corporatist their rep is,&rdquo; Andrabi said.<\/p>\n<p>The press release did comment on Latimer&rsquo;s age, stating that one in three Congress members is over the age of 65.&nbsp;Latimer is 71 years old.<\/p>\n<p>Justice Democrats played an instrumental role in assisting Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez&rsquo;s (D-NY) election in 2018 when she unseated incumbent Joseph Crowley. Her primary victory was historic and a major upset for the Democratic establishment.<\/p>\n<p>Following the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war, progressives in Congress have struggled to maintain popularity and influence, as seen in Bush and Bowman&rsquo;s primary losses. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\"><strong><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>While Justice Democrats seek to go on the offense, many members of the &ldquo;Squad,&rdquo; such as Rep.
