Some supporters of a progressive Democrat are blaming her defeat in a primary election on the influence of a pro-Israel group.
Shontel Brown defeated Nina Turner and the lesser-known Jeff Johnson in Ohio’s 11th congressional district Democratic primary election Tuesday. Brown won with 50.2% of the vote to Nina Turner’s 44.5%, according to results from The New York Times. The election took place outside of the traditional election season because the previous congresswoman serving the district, Marcia Fudge, left her post to join the Biden administration.
