It is primary day in the Empire State, and one of the buzziest races of
the day involves Rep. Jamaal Bowman (NY-16). In the only public polls
out, Bowman appears to be trailing his opponent, George Latimer, by a
whopping 17 points. As New York Playbook co-author Emily Ngo explains,
it is the issues at hand in the race—namely, a divide surrounding Israel
and Gaza, a microcosm of the Democratic Party at large—that are perhaps
the most interesting thing about the race. She joins Playbook co-author
Rachael Bade to discuss it and what else she is watching. Plus, Julian
Assange is a free man, and the rest of the news you need to know today.
