With his primary victory, Bowman, 44, has ended the long House of Representatives career of Engel, who is the chairman of the chamber’s powerful Foreign Affairs Committee. His victory reflects momentum by progressives and minority candidates against older, establishment Democrats amid a national outcry against racism after the death of George Floyd, a Black man, in police custody in May.

Bowman’s campaign got a significant boost in his race against Engel with endorsements from progressive leaders, including Senators Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren.
