Latimer Enjoys a Double-Digit Lead Over Bowman

Rep. Jamaal Bowman Embraces the Left's Star

Overpowered on the Airwaves and Behind in the Polls

June 2024 An updating average accounting for each poll's recency, sample size, methodology, and house effects. The historically expensive bid to unseat Rep. Jamaal Bowman is entering its final frantic hours as a moderate White county executive. Latimer, buoyed by a surge in TV ad spending, enjoys a double-digit lead over Bowman. In recent weeks, Bowman has attempted to energize his base by embracing the left's star, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Ocasio-Cortez has campaigned with Bowman and has been featured prominently in his advertising. However, Latimer has countered by casting Bowman as too extreme for the district, which includes parts of the Bronx and Westchester County. The race is expected to be very close, and could be decided by turnout. Bowman is hoping to energize his base and bring out his supporters on Election Day. However, Latimer is hoping to appeal to moderate voters who may be turned off by Bowman's association with Ocasio-Cortez.
