What to expect from today’s primaries in New York, Colorado and Utah

After House Republicans have been facing competitive primaries for weeks, it’s now a Democrat who could be in trouble Tuesday.

After House Republicans have been facing competitive primaries for weeks, it’s now a Democrat who could be in trouble Tuesday.

The primary in New York’s 16th District has attracted the most ad spending ever for a House primary, with Democratic Rep. Jamaal Bowman — a member of the progressive "squad" and a fierce Israel critic — facing scores of attacks. 

The historic spending, according to the ad tracking firm AdImpact, includes $14.8 million in ads from United Democracy Project, a super PAC tied to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.

Pro-Israel groups are backing Bowman’s opponent, Westchester County Executive George Latimer, a centrist who has served in local politics for decades and is an unabashed supporter of Israel.

And while voters in the district said they are focused on other issues, like jobs and the environment, the unprecedented spending has made the primary a closely watched proxy fight in Democrats’ broader intraparty battle that has played out over the Israel-Hamas war this election cycle.
