AP Decision Notes: What to anticipate in New York's state primaries

WASHINGTON-- Tensions within the Democratic Party over President Joe Biden's handling of the Israel-Hamas war are playing out in an essential New York main race next week. Rep. Jamaal Bowman faces Westchester County Executive George Latimer in Tuesday's extremely controversial Democratic primary in New York's 16th Congressional District. The race in this safe Democratic district is important because it encapsulates the cracks that have emerged within the celebration. Bowman represents the left's opposition to Israel's conduct throughout the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza and to the Biden administration's assistance for Israel. Latimer is operating on a more centrist, facility position-- affirming Israel's "rights of existence, peace, self-defense, and stability."
