Despite having left-wing heroes like Sen. Bernie Sanders (S-Vt.) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D.N.Y.) campaigning for him, Bowman, 48, has become the first Democratic incumbent to lose in this year’s primaries. He’s also the first member of the so-called Squad to be ousted from power since the group became a thing after the 2018 elections. Unfortunately, other Squad members, like Reps. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, who faced primary challenges, managed to survive their elections.
