Jamaal Bowman scores Hakeem Jeffries' endorsement in tough primary fight
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has formally endorsed Rep. Jamaal Bowman, ending months of speculation about the embattled progressive's place in the Democratic Party due to his outspoken criticism of Israel.
“Rep. Bowman’s life experiences – raised by a single mom in public housing and founding a public school serving low-income children in the Bronx – have shaped him into a public servant who fights for economic justice and in defense of historically underrepresented communities.” Jeffries, who hails from Brooklyn, is notably to Bowman's right on Israel. But Jeffries has endorsed several progressive incumbents facing credible primary challenges this election cycle, including Reps. Summer Lee of Pennsylvania and Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, who are also facing blowback over their comments on Israel.
