Today, voters will pick a Democratic nominee in what's become
the most expensive House primary race in the US history.
Congressman Jamal Bowman facing a tough challenge from fellow Democrat
George Latimer in a district that includes some of New
York City and its suburbs.
And that's where we find foxes.
Caroline Elliott live in White Plains,
NY And what are you hearing from voters as they're
at the polls today?
Well, Christine and voters have started heading to the polls
at 6:00 AM this morning,
and even late last night,
some voters were still undecided.
Voters tell us that the big difference separating these two
candidates right now is the Israel Hamas war.
And for the Democratic Party,
this could be the first Test on how voters.
About this issue.
We are going to show APAC.
The power of the.
Bro people ask me why I got a foul mouth.
What am I supposed to do?
You coming after me?
For months now, tensions in the Democratic Party have been
building over President Biden's handling of the Israel Hamas war
and voters are now seeing this play out on this
highly competitive primary. Congressman Jamal Bowman,
who is allied with the progressive group known as the
Squad,
is a more vocal pro Palestinian supporter.
Congressman Bowman has been criticized for several comments on the
Israel Hamas war,
including dropping the F bomb half a dozen times at
a campaign event over the weekend.
Congressman Bowman has apologized for those comments since,
but his opponent, Westchester County Executive George Latimer,
has made the war a key issue in this competitive
race.
Latimer is viewed as a more moderate Democrat who is
backed by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.
The pro Israel group reportedly spent nearly $15 million to
help Latimer win this race.
But it's it's about results,
not rhetoric. To that extent.
The people on the far left,
the squad and so forth have been much more about,
you know, making statements and sort of trying to move
the dialogue in a certain direction.
I'm worried about moving dialogue.
I want to see if we can solve problems.
If Congressman Bowman does lose tonight,
he'd be the first member of the so-called squad to
be unseated,
Christine. All right, Caroline, we will see what the results
are when the polls close.
Thanks so much.
