Rep. Cori Bush Trails Democrat Challenger by 23 Points in Poll

Rep. Cori Bush, a member of the progressive 'Squad,' faces a tough reelection challenge, trailing St. Louis attorney Wesley Bell by 23% in a new poll for Missouri's 1st Congressional District. The survey by McLaughlin & Associates shows Bell leading 56% to 33%, with 11% undecided. Bush's criticism of Israel's actions contrasts with Bell's support for Israel, attracting pro-Israel Democratic backing. Similar to Rep. Jamaal Bowman's recent defeat, this race underscores divisions within the Democratic Party and the Squad's stance on Israel, impacting the upcoming primary significantly.
