Rep. Wesley Bell holds off ex-‘Squad’ member Cori Bush’s comeback bid in Missouri Democratic House primary

The Democratic primary in Missouri's 1st Congressional District was a rematch of the 2024 contest, which saw Bush, a Democratic socialist serving her second-term in the House, ousted by Bell, a moderate St. Louis County prosecutor backed by nearly $9 million in funding from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) and its aligned super-PACs.
