AOC-Endorsed Candidate Set to Defeat Longtime Rep. Engel; Can't Wait to 'Cause Problems'

(CNSNews.com) – Two years after Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez defeated a 10-term incumbent in a New York House Democrat primary, a left-wing candidate endorsed by the high-profile “squad†member looks set to repeat the accomplishment, with the loser this time a 16-term veteran backed by the party establishment.
In New York’s 16th congressional district, Jamaal Bowman, an African American former middle school principal backed by the Justice Democrats – as were all four squad members in 2018 – has declared victory over Rep. Eliot Engel, the 73-year-old chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee and a member of Congress since 1989.
