House GOP says good riddance to Bowman as Democrats call ‘red alert’ on primary spending

to House progressives, with the contest raising concerns among Democrats that disaster looms for their other vulnerable candidates who, like Bowman, share anti-Israel sentiments.

“We can’t govern when we have people acting like Bob Good,” the Wisconsin Republican continued. “Jamaal Bowman, he’s not going to be here anymore. He’s now first member of the Squad. He’s gone. You know why? Because he’s so radical. Even the left got rid of him.” Rep. Cori Bush blamed her fellow progressive’s loss on the “staggering price tag” put on unseating Bowman from AIPAC’s “far-right” allies.

For progressive leaders, the idea that spending in the 16th District’s Democratic primary totaled over $20.5 million should be a wake-up call for Democratic voters and the caucus itself. Progressive caucus Whip Greg Casar told reporters that he blamed Bowman’s defeat on the “unprecedented” spending from AIPAC and other big-business groups that don’t represent the progressives’ districts.
