Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.) has lost her Democratic primary to Wesley Bell, marking her as the second member of the progressive 'Squad' to be voted out this year. Bell, who is the St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney, garnered over 51% of the vote compared to Bush's 45.6%, largely thanks to significant financial support from AIPAC's super PAC, which spent over $9 million against Bush. This defeat follows a similar fate for Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-N.Y.), emphasizing a trend of progressives facing challenges from more moderate candidates. Bush's controversial stance on pro-Gaza demonstrations and her ongoing FBI investigation into campaign fund misuse further complicated her campaign. Despite endorsements from House Democratic leadership, they were unable to secure her position. The elections have highlighted the growing influence of moderate Democrats, particularly amidst the Israel-Hamas conflict.
