(Detailed view of a voting booth during Tuesday’s Kentucky primary election on June 23, 2020 in Louisville, Kentucky at the Kentucky Exposition Center.
Engel's loss to Bowman (even though it hasn't been OFFICIALLY called yet, I am calling it!) is a loss to those of us who consider ourselves to be pro-Israel progressives. However, he set himself up for this, in the same way that Joe Crowley did in 2018. They lost touch with their constituents and developed a sense of entitlement/arrogance, and if you do that, you open yourself up to the possibility of being unseated. The same thing happened to Eric Cantor on the Republican side a few years back.

Thank you again!
