    Yes the money mattered, but so did Bowman’s actions. A lot of these representatives in congress needs to understand that they are voted in to represent their constituents, not their own personal beliefs.
  • Like a black voter said in a clip - leave Israel to Israel & start serving your voters
  • Bowman has to take responsibility for his defeat. It doesn’t look good if he blames others
  • The voters voted. That is why he lost. I guess that idea is not acceptable.
  • @TheShadowfakx
    I suspect pulling that fire alarm in the House wasn't the only seriously questionable thing Jamaal has done in his life.
  • @mattl2843
    Oh man Bowman didn't win?! How ... Alarming 😂
  • $525 billion to Ukraine and $750 billion to illegals and $700 to Maui people that’s your president America…!
  • @Duude125
    Most Jews are Democrats, especially in New York. You can’t scream “genocide” or “from the river to the sea” and expect AIPAC to give you money. But Bowman’s loss was too big to blame it on money anyway.
  • I definitely agree with some of these comments. Bowman’s action gave him away and that in itself led to his defeat. When you are representing your constituents, it’s important to know who they are and what you need to bring to the table to help them. Bowman’s actions were toxic to bear and many of his constituents especially the Jewish community were turn off.

    Worst show in America! Most racist , hateful bias show in America
  • @SmartMoneyBro
    Bowman has sort of made himself into a joke. The cursing is dumb and unprofessional, and didn't Bowman pull the fire alarm? Lol.
  • Now let’s get rid of the supposed faith healer Cori Bush and the rest of the so called squad.
