Yvette Clarke, a longtime congresswoman from Brooklyn’s 9th congressional district defeated multiple Democratic primary challengers this year.
She won her re-match against organizer Adem Bunkeddeko, who won 47% of the vote against her in 2018, and a challenge from Brooklyn councilman Chaim Deutsch.
Clarke won 62% with Adem Bunkeddeko finishing second at 18%. Deutsch received just 9.9%, only slightly ahead of Isiah James at 9.1%. In last place was Lutchi Gayot, who got just 1%.
The frum community represents about 15% of the voting age population in this Congressional District.
With the absentee ballots, Chaim will have received slightly more than 15% of the vote.
The outcome is as was and should have been expected from the get go. He had no chance!

THANKS SO MUCH, IT MEANS A LOT ESPECIALLY IN THESE DIFFICULT TIMES!
It is unnecessary and inappropriate to mention the race of the winner. It is neither desirable nor necessary to make everything into a racial matter. Not everything is black & white.

What do you mean "Not everything is black & white."?
According to the media ... Everything IS "Black & White"
I'm just following the media....
Do you think Engel would have been voted out if he were Black?
Do you think Yvette would have won .. were she white?
