Rep. Wesley Bell holds off ex-'Squad' member Cori Bush's comeback bid in Missouri Democratic House primary

Cori Bush lost her bitter Democratic primary against incumbent Rep. Wesley Bell Tuesday, two years after the former "Squad" lawmaker vowed to take revenge against the pro-Israel group that contributed to her political downfall.

The race in Missouri's deep-blue 1st Congressional District was a rematch of the 2024 contest, which saw the Democratic socialist Bush ousted by Bell, a moderate St. Louis County prosecutor backed by nearly $9 million from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) and its aligned super-PACs.
