Progressives lose Bowman, win AOC in ultra-hyped Bronx primary cycle

Part of the north Bronx played host to the country’s most-watched — and most expensive — Democratic primary congressional race that gave Westchester County Executive George Latimer a hard-fought victory over progressive two-term incumbent Rep. Jamaal Bowman in the 16th Congressional District.

While progressives lost Bowman Tuesday night, they put Bronx and Queens Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez back in her post in the 14th Congressional District.
