Democratic Squad member Jamaal Bowman is facing backlash after losing a New York primary amid MAGA firebrand Lauren Boebert’s victory in Colorado’s 4th Congressional District.
Bowman has been described as “Democratic Trump” after losing a House primary to Westchester County Executive George Latimer on Tuesday, who won more than 60 percent of the vote.
The race, which was the most expensive House primary in history, was marred by accusations of race-baiting after Latimer’s campaign criticized Bowman for being out of touch with his largely white constituency over his support for Gaza.
But Bowman has also been accused of baring a resemblance to Trump with his behavior on the campaign trail, using vulgar language and promoting bogus conspiracy theories.
Meanwhile, GOP Rep Lauren Boebert has won the Republican nomination for Colorado’s 4th Congressional District.
The controversial congresswoman easily secured a win in the state on Tuesday, despite switching to a new congressional district, a scandal-ridden campaign, and accusations of carpet-bagging.
