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

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

40% : Bush had hoped to ride the wave of anti-Israel sentiment that has propelled several far-left Democrats this cycle back to her old House seat.
36% : The 50-year-old former Black Lives Matter organizer came up dramatically short, losing to Bell 71%-26%, when the Associated Press called the race at 9:02 p.m.
28% : 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.
14% : 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.
