    • Much of the spending came after a poll in March from pro-Israel group Democratic Majority for Israel showed Bowman trailing by 17 points.

    So he was down 17 points pre-AIPAC money. Then after AIPAC spent a record breaking amount of money, he remained down 17 points and lost by that exact margin.

    The ungodly amount of money probably didn’t radically change the opinion of what most of his constituents were going to do in the ballot box.

    Maybe he would’ve closed the gap a bit, but he wasn’t in great shape to begin with.

      You should definitely take the NY Post’s summary of Democratic Majority for Israel’s factual claim at face value, those are both highly reputable and trustworthy organizations /s
