In the New York primary elections held on June 25, 2024, two notable races took place. In one race, George Latimer defeated incumbent Representative Jamaal Bowman in the Democratic primary for New York's 16th Congressional District. The other race saw Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert winning the GOP contest in Colorado's 4th Congressional District.
The primary between Bowman and Latimer was a contentious one, with accusations of racism and antisemitism levied against each other. The most expensive House primary in history, it drew significant attention from various sources. Bowman had become the incumbent after defeating Republican Rob Astorino to become Westchester County Executive in 2017. The 16th Congressional District consists of a small portion of the northern Bronx and the southern half of Westchester County, including White Plains, Mount Vernon, Yonkers, New Rochelle and Rye.
Boebert's victory came after she decided to run in Colorado's 4th Congressional District following a close general election against a Democrat in the 3rd District in 2022. The new district is considered more friendly to Republicans.
Despite the controversy surrounding these primaries, it is essential to maintain an objective perspective and report facts without bias. It's important to remember that all sources, including mainstream media, should be approached with skepticism and fact-checked for accuracy.

This statement is an example of an appeal to stereotype and fear, which are informal fallacies.
