Rep. Cori Bush Becomes Second Anti-Israel Squad Member Ousted in Primary
(Politico) Nicholas Wu - Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.) was defeated in a primary Tuesday, becoming the second member of the anti-Israel Squad to be ousted this year. She was defeated by Wesley Bell, the elected lead prosecutor in St. Louis County. Although the Israel-Hamas conflict had barely factored into the primary, a wave of outside spending amplified Bush's vulnerabilities. Bush is the second member of the Squad to lose their primary this year after Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) was defeated in June.
