With early voting already underway in New York , U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders warned Tuesday that Westchester County Executive George Latimer 's primary challenge to Democratic Congressman Jamaal Bowman in the state's 16th District is ultimately about the power of the ultrarich. 'The Democratic primary between Rep. Jamaal Bowman and George Latimer is not just a clash of two very different points of view.

'Latimer's campaign will attract more billionaire super PAC money than any primary race in history,' Sanders said Tuesday. 'The donors behind these super PACs, AIPAC's United Democracy Project and the crypto-backed Fairshake, are not only spending a huge amount of money to support Latimer's campaign, but are also making large donations to right-wing extremist Republican candidates.
