Wesley Bell defeats "Squad" member Cori Bush after pro-Israel lobbying group AIPAC used power of money to take out a second member of the progressive group.Cori Bush speaks during a press conference alongside lawmakers and university union members on protecting the right of free speech, following a crackdown on pro-Palestinian protests on college campuses, on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., May 23, 2024.
Bush, a member of the progressive congressional group known as the “Squad,” was seeking a third term in Missouri's 1st Congressional District, which includes St. Louis city and part of St. Louis County. Bell’s campaign received a big boost from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee , whose super political action committee, United Democracy Project, spent $8.5 million to oust Bush.It was a gameplan that worked earlier this year in New York.
Bush wrote on social media that Israel's"collective punishment against Palestinians for Hamas's actions is a war crime."
