Jamaal Bowman Berns Eliot Engel!

Jamaal Bowman is beating Eliot Engel.

An African American educator is posed to be the Democratic nominee for the New York 16th Congressional District. He will represent a district that was once held by a powerful lawmaker.

For those who don't understand, the 16th Congressional District is a safe district for the Democrats.

The intraparty fights continue within the Democratic Party. The Justice Democrats can once again claim victory. An New York City educator and activist may have defeated longtime Democratic fixture, Rep. Eliot Engel (D-NY).

Jamaal Bowman is ahead of Engel by 20 points as of today. The precincts are almost finished with their count.

Bowman, a relatively newcomer was backed by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT).

As a former Bronx school principal , Bowman was boosted in the months leading up to the primaries.

CBS News reported that Engel had mad some serious gaffes on the campaign trail.

Rep. Eliot Engel (D-NY) is losing his Democratic primary against a candidate backed by Bernie Sanders.

An Atlantic reporter caught him in a lie about being in his district for a coronavirus-related event.

Weeks later, during a Bronx news conference about recent protests over police brutality Engel was caught on an open microphone asking to be allowed to address the crowd, saying, "If I didn't have a primary, I wouldn't care."

Engel is a pro-Israel lawmaker. He represents parts of The Bronx and Westchester County.

He is a Jewish American lawmaker who has been in office since 1989.

Engel has been a thorn in the hairs of many progressives because of his stance on Israel.

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) both have face harsh criticism from Engel over their stance on Israel. The two lawmakers have said the U.S. should stop sending aid to Israel due to their inhumane treatment of the Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

Engel has sided with Donald J. Trump and fellow lawmaker Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY) when it came to American-Israeli relations. He supported Trump on moving the American embassy to Jerusalem.

Bowman's rise is similar to Ocasio-Cortez's victory against longtime Democratic lawmaker Joseph Crowley.
