Former Secretary of State and Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton is backing the primary challenger looking to take down Democratic Rep. Jamaal Bowman in New York later this month.

The race pits Bowman, the progressive incumbent, against George Latimer, a popular county officeholder, in a race where Bowman’s criticism of Israel in its war with Hamas has taken center stage.

"With Trump on the ballot, we need strong, principled Democrats in Congress more than ever," Clinton said, before Latimer as someone who "will protect abortion rights, stand up to the NRA, and fight for President Biden’s agenda."

Clinton, a longtime New York resident who represented the state in the U.S. Senate, has a home in a neighboring district.
