You wouldn’t think that a small House race in New York would be very important but the left is genuinely upset about Jamaal Bowman’s loss this week. They certainly brought out the big guns to defend his campaign, with AOC jumping around like a crazy person at his rally and Bernie Sanders speaking at another event.
In the end, it was clear that the people in his district were determined to remove him from office. Still, the anger from the left is surprising.
