Sweet now let's see if the voters have the sense to dump the rest of the anti-American "squad".

AOIC had maybe 50 people , mostly journalists, turn up her rally IN THE BRONX, in a show of a total lack of support, as she showed her ass with a ridiculous "dace along" with a Cardi B song.

Maybe the worm is turning, in deep blue areas.




Jamaal Bowman becomes first member of the 'Squad' to lose 2024 primary as Democrats divide over Israel​


Rep. Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y., became the first member of the progressive group of House lawmakers known as “the squad” to lose a primary challenge in the 2024 cycle on Tuesday night, after suffering a bruising defeat to a more moderate Democratic candidate in his Bronx-area district.

Bowman, 48, lost to Westchester County Executive George Latimer, 70, in a high-profile contest that largely hinged on the two Democratic candidates' opposing views about the Israel-Hamas War.

A second-term representative and former public middle school principal, Bowman has been a vocal critic of Israel’s handling of the war and the Biden administration’s continued support for aid to the country. He has accused Israeli officials of committing genocide and was an early proponent of a cease-fire in the war.

The American Israel Public Affairs Committee, a pro-Israel lobbying group that supports Republican and Democratic candidates, spent millions against Bowman in the race, including giving more than $1.5 million in donations to Latimer’s campaign.


At a rally just days before the election, Bowman suggested his supporters would show AIPAC “the power” of the South Bronx. His district mostly spans the North Bronx, Yonkers and portions of Westchester County.



~But at least one other member of the tight-knit group faces a difficult race ahead this year in which AIPAC's donations could play a role.

Second-term progressive Rep. Cori Bush, D-Mo., will face St. Louis County Prosecutor Wesley Bell in a primary on Aug. 6. AIPAC has donated more than $630,000 to Bell’s campaign. The limited polling available in the race showed Bell with a 20-point lead over Bush ahead of the Missouri election.
