Democrat George Latimer (Left) has beat out incumbent progressive Rep. Jamaal Bowman, the AP projects. 

Bowman is the first 'Squad' member to be unseated, putting the future of the hardcore progressive faction on shaky ground. It also does not bode well for anti-Israel voices in Congress .  

Bowman's district is partly affluent, white and Jewish in Westchester and partly black and brown voters in the Bronx. 

Bowman was one of the first to demand a ceasefire and has flirted with conspiracies about Israel, prompting even some within his own party to accuse him of antisemitism. 

He was supported by Bernie Sanders (Upper right insert) and AOC (Lower right insert).
