Cori Bush Loses Primary to Wesley Bell

Missouri Representative Cori Bush, a member of the progressive 'Squad,' lost her primary to Wesley Bell, a local prosecutor, after a heavily funded campaign by the pro-Israel PAC AIPAC. Bush, known for her criticism of Israel and advocacy for Palestinian rights, has vowed retribution against AIPAC, stating that her defeat has 'radicalized' her. The White House has condemned her inflammatory rhetoric, calling it divisive and unhelpful. This primary race is among the most expensive in U.S. history, with AIPAC spending over $8 million against Bush. Bush's loss follows the defeat of another 'Squad' member, Jamaal Bowman, similarly targeted by AIPAC. AIPAC congratulated Bell, emphasizing the importance of U.S.-Israel relations.
