US Rep. Wesley Bell overcomes anti-Israel progressive Cori Bush in Missouri Democratic primary

The Jerusalem Post · back to the audit

Rep. Wesley Bell has defeated former House representative Cori Bush in Missouri's Democratic primary for the state's First Congressional District. Bush had emerged as one of Congress's most outspoken critics of Israel following the October 7 Hamas massacre and the subsequent war in Gaza, while Bell campaigned on a more moderate platform and has consistently supported the US-Israel strategic alliance. The result represents an important victory for the Democratic Party's pro-Israel wing after AIPAC and its allies invested millions of dollars in the race. Bush, in concession: "It pisses me off ... that for the next two years, this community will be represented by someone who didn't deem you valuable enough to show up to one candidate forum."
