JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — U.S. Rep. Wesley Bell won Tuesday's rematch in the Missouri Democratic primary against former Rep. Cori Bush, an outspoken activist who had been part of a progressive group of House members known as the Squad. Although democratic socialists like Bush have made gains in other places around the country this year, she fell short while running to reclaim the St. Louis-based seat that she lost two years ago. Bell was again supported by AIPAC this year. The deep-pocketed American Israel Public Affairs Committee spent millions to help oust Bush in 2024. Bush has denounced Israel's military action in Gaza. Bush, in concession: "It pisses me off that for the next two years this community will be represented by someone that didn't deem you valuable enough to show up..."
