    Save you a click: AIPAC-backed establishment Dem beats out DSA challenger, and will be running against a Republican. A bad day for normal people across the country.

    Moskowitz, one of the most prominent Jewish Democrats in the House of Representatives, will face Republican … Scott Singer Nov. 3 for the right to represent a district whose boundaries were recently redrawn by Florida legislators to favor the GOP.

    … The two-term incumbent [Moskowitz] was backed by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) and the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), while Oliver was endorsed by far-left streamer Hasan Piker and former Bronx and Westchester Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY).

    … Moskowitz has voted in favor of US aid to Israel and condemned members of his party who refer to Israel’s war following Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, attack on the Jewish state as a “genocide.” He declined to debate Larkin, telling a local radio station last month: “I’m not going to platform him. He’s running against me solely on my religion.”
