Cori Bush Loses Missouri Primary to Wesley Bell Amid $9 Million Pro-Israel Lobby Spending
Aug 7, 2024, 02:21 AM
Democratic Congresswoman Cori Bush, a member of the progressive 'Squad,' has lost her primary election in Missouri's 1st Congressional District to Wesley Bell, the St. Louis County Prosecutor. The primary was marked by significant financial involvement from pro-Israel groups, with AIPAC and its affiliates reportedly spending over $9 million to support Bell and oppose Bush. This election reflects deep divisions within the Democratic Party over issues related to Israel, as Bush has been a vocal critic of Israeli policies, particularly regarding the Gaza conflict. Bush's defeat marks the second time a 'Squad' member has lost a primary this year, following Jamaal Bowman's earlier loss. It was the second most-expensive House primary in U.S. history.
