Rep. Jamaal Bowman revealed Friday that the Harris campaign sidelined him in their Michigan efforts and deployed former Rep. Liz Cheney instead.
Bowman appeared to mock Vice President Kamala Harris’s allies for their puzzling decision to join forces with Cheney, a self-proclaimed Republican widely unpopular across the political spectrum.
“I then told them … ‘I am ready to be dispatched to any part of the country. Let me know. I want to go to Michigan in particular,’” Bowman said on the Rania Khalek Dispatches podcast about his conversations with the Harris campaign.
“They never get back to me. Even worse, they send Ritchie Torres, Bill Clinton and Liz Cheney to Michigan. … This is what their campaign decided to do: let’s not send Jamaal Bowman,” said the outgoing representative.
Jamaal Bowman tells me he offered to go to Michigan for the Kamala Harris campaign to rally support for Democrats since he’s popular there.
The Harris campaign ignored him and instead sent Ritchie Torres, Liz Cheney and then Bill Clinton to scold Arab Americans.
