Democrat George Latimer defeated U.S. Rep. Jamaal Bowman in New York’s 16th Congressional District on the strength of his showing in vote-rich Westchester County, according to an Associated Press analysis of initial vote results. The result marks the first primary defeat this year of a Democratic U.S. House incumbent. At the time AP called the race, Latimer held a 26-point lead in Westchester with almost half of the county’s estimated vote tabulated. Westchester accounts for about 90% of the district’s population. Bowman had a large lead in the Bronx, which comprises only a small percentage of the district's vote totals.
