Rep. Cori Bush, the progressive Missouri congresswoman and “Squad” member, lost in the Democratic primary in St Louis Tuesday to Prosecuting Attorney Wesley Bell.
Bell had just over 51 percent of the vote to Bush’s 45.6 at the time of call by the Associated Press.
The race saw an influx of cash to Bell from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) and the group’s super PAC, United Democracy Project (UDP). Together, they spent $9 million to oust Bush, who had called for an immediate cease-fire in Gaza weeks after Hamas attacked Israel last October.
