Cori Bush Faces Primary Challenge in Missouri
News summary

Rep. Cori Bush faces a challenging primary election against St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Wesley Bell, highlighting divisions within the Democratic Party over issues regarding Israel. Bush, a prominent critic of Israeli actions and a member of the progressive 'Squad', has received backlash for her outspoken stance, especially after the recent conflict in Gaza. Bell, who is supported by the pro-Israel lobbying group AIPAC, has outpaced Bush in fundraising and polling, raising concerns about her political future. Over $15 million has been spent in the race, with a significant portion directed against Bush, who has been accused by her opponent of being detrimental to the Democratic Party. Her views, including labeling Israeli military actions as genocide, have polarized voter opinions, particularly among Missouri's Jewish community. The outcome could reflect broader trends in the Democratic Party's stance on Israel and Palestine, following similar primary challenges faced by other progressive lawmakers.
