Its Official.
New York Rep. Eliot Engel won't serve a 17th term in Congress after liberal challenger Jamaal Bowman bested him in their Democratic primary.
Bowman, 44, claimed victory shortly after polls closed for their June 23 primary, but Engel, 73, refused to concede to the former Bronx public middle school principal. At that point, Bowman had 58% of the vote to Engel's 35%, or a 10,183-vote lead. Several news outlets called the race for Bowman on Friday.
Engel, the top Democrat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, was first elected to represent northern Bronx and southern Westchester County in 1988.
Bowman's win in the heavily Democratic 16th Congressional District almost assures him a seat in the 117th Congress......snip~
