\n Jamaal Bowman has defeated veteran Rep. Eliot Engel, unseating the powerful chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee in a stunning upset, according to the Associated Press.<\/p>\n

Bowman, a progressive former middle school principal backed by the Justice Democrats, triumphed over Engel, a 16-term congressman, more than three weeks after the New York Democratic primary took place on June 23.<\/p>\n

The AP called the race on Friday morning.<\/p>\n

Engel, 73, had been besieged by gaffes and accusations he was missing from his Bronx-Westchester district as the coronavirus pandemic raged.<\/p>\n

Bowman declared victory the day after the primary but Engel\u2019s campaign was counting on a record number of mail-in ballots cast amid the pandemic to help him overcome his challenger\u2019s commanding lead.<\/p>\n

But Bowman\u2019s lead expanded during the weeks-long counting of absentee ballots in New York\u2019s 16th Congressional District and by Friday the contest was over with the progressive candidate 16-points ahead.<\/p>\n

In a statement, Bowman promised to \u201ccause problems\u201d in Washington, a sign that the outspoken left flank of the Democratic Party, headed by Bronx Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, is growing.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m a black man who was raised by a single mother in a housing project. That story doesn\u2019t usually end in Congress. But today, that 11-year old boy who was beaten by police is about to be your next Representative,\u201d Bowman said in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe world has changed. Congress needs to change too. But if we can take on entrenched power and wealthy interests here in Westchester and the Bronx, then we can do it all across this country,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m ready to get to work. I cannot wait to get to Washington and cause problems for the people maintaining the status quo.\u201d<\/p>\n

His upstart victory is reminiscent of Ocasio-Cortez\u2019s unexpected toppling of powerful incumbent Joe Crowley in 2018 in the neighboring Bronx district.<\/p>\n

It also shows the congresswoman\u2019s rising influence in the party, with Bowman one of three progressive AOC-backed candidates in the New York primary who ultimately won.<\/p>\n

Mondaire Jones, an openly-gay African American attorney, was also declared the victor in New York\u2019s 17th Congressional District after a landslide win and is almost assured to be headed to Congress.<\/p>\n

Assemblyman Felix Ortiz, an entrenched Democrat first elected in 1994, also conceded the Democratic Primary race last month to AOC-endorsed challenger Marcela Mitaynes.<\/p>\n
