Wesley Bell beats Cori Bush in Missouri Democratic House primary rematch that put party's rifts on full display

CBS News · back to the audit

Rep. Wesley Bell on Tuesday beat former congresswoman Cori Bush in a heated Democratic primary in Missouri's 1st Congressional District, CBS News projects. The race laid bare intraparty rifts between establishment Democrats and democratic socialists. Bell has represented the solid-blue district, which includes St. Louis, since 2025 after unseating the two-term Bush. Bush blamed her 2024 defeat on the pro-Israel lobby, which spent millions against her. Bush, in a debate: "so much of that was funded by a lot of the people that fund Congressman Wesley Bell through these PACs."
