In a recent development in the highly anticipated election for the 16th District of New York, former Secretary of State and U.S. Senator Hillary Clinton has announced her endorsement of George Latimer, the incumbent Westchester County Executive. This endorsement has come as a major boost for Latimer's campaign, especially as the early voting period approaches in New York.
According to a press release, Latimer not only has the support of Clinton, but also of Democratic leaders in both the Bronx and Westchester counties. This strong backing from influential figures in the Democratic party is a testament to Latimer's leadership and dedication to the community.
Latimer's opponent in the race is Democratic New York Rep. Jamaal Bowman, who is running for his third term in Congress. However, Bowman's campaign has recently faced a setback after he made controversial comments criticizing Israel, as reported by CNN.
Clinton's endorsement of Latimer's campaign comes on the heels of Bowman's accusation that Latimer is racist, made during a virtual town hall. The Washington Free Beacon reported that Bowman singled out a pro-Israel group, AIPAC, for supporting Latimer and accused them of labeling him anti-Semitic because they couldn't use a racial slur against him.
In response, Latimer's campaign released a statement saying, "We reject these baseless accusations and stand with the Jewish community against hate and bigotry." This statement was also supported by Clinton, who took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to voice her concerns about the need for "strong, principled Democrats in Congress more than ever." She emphasized the importance of supporting candidates who align with Democratic values and President Biden's agenda.
Clinton also highlighted Latimer's track record, stating that he will "protect abortion rights, stand up to the NRA, and fight for President Biden's agenda – just like he's always done." This further solidifies her confidence in Latimer's ability to address crucial issues and make a positive impact in Congress.
In light of this endorsement, Latimer expressed his gratitude and excitement, stating that he is "honored to have the support of Hillary Clinton, whose decades of service are an inspiration." He also urged his supporters to take advantage of early voting and cast their votes for "Real Results Not Rhetoric."
This endorsement from Clinton is a significant development in the campaign and serves as a testament to Latimer's leadership and dedication to Democratic values. It also highlights the importance of supporting candidates who are committed to making a positive impact in their communities and upholding crucial issues.
