While New York’s Democratic primary election on Tuesday was dominated by the ouster of progressive US Rep. Jamaal Bowman at the hands of moderate Westchester County Executive George Latimer, the night also held other notable results across the Big Apple.
Bowman, who has represented much of Westchester County and a slice of the Bronx for nearly four years, lost his seat Tuesday night to Latimer by nearly 17 percentage points in a race that garnered national attention. Latimer’s resounding victory followed weeks of speculation leading up to Election Day that Bowman would not be able to retain his seat.
