Missouri live primary results: Rep. Wesley Bell wins rematch against Cori Bush

ABC News · back to the audit

In the Democratic primary for Missouri's 1st Congressional District, ABC News projects incumbent Rep. Wesley Bell will win over former Rep. Cori Bush, who Bell beat two years ago. Bell ousted then-Rep. Bush in 2024. Bush was defeated in a race flooded with outside spending from pro-Israel groups boosting him. United Democracy Project, a super PAC affiliated with pro-Israel group American Israel Public Affairs Committee, spent millions opposing Bush in both the 2024 and 2026 primaries. Bell notched the support of Democratic leaders such as Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and major groups such as the Congressional Black Caucus PAC. The race came amid a wave of success by progressives mounting anti-incumbents campaigns.
