A comeback bid launched by former House “Squad” member Cori Bush was thwarted on Tuesday night, as establishment Democrats notched a key victory in the party’s civil war with the insurgent left.<\/p>\n

Rep. Wesley Bell, D-Mo., defeated the former congresswoman and Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) member for the second time since 2024.<\/p>\n

Bell ran as a pragmatic alternative to Bush, while still touting himself as a progressive to appeal to Democrats in Missouri’s 1st Congressional District<\/a>.<\/p>\n

HOUSE REPUBLICANS AIM TO TURN DEMOCRATIC CIVIL WAR INTO MIDTERM WEAPON<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Before coming to Congress, Bell was a Ferguson, Missouri City Council member and a county prosecutor.<\/p>\n

Bush made her name in politics as a Black Lives Matter organizer before coming to Congress, serving two terms before losing to Bell.<\/p>\n

She blamed her 2024 loss on the hundreds of thousands of dollars that pro-Israel groups from outside her district spent on the race.<\/p>\n

The far-left firebrand utilized a similar line of attack against Bell this time around as well, accusing him of being controlled by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC).<\/p>\n

“When the disaster caused $1.6 billion in damages and took several lives, Wesley responded by hopping on a flight to Israel funded by Trump\u2019s donors less than 90 days later,” Bush posted on X last week, referring to a 2025 tornado that tore through part of St. Louis<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But those attacks failed to make enough of a dent in Bell’s campaign.<\/p>\n

DEMOCRATS TARGET MORE GOP HOUSE SEATS AFTER SOCIALIST VICTORIES ROCK LEFT-WING PRIMARIES<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Bush was part of a wave of DSA-linked candidates<\/a> posing a challenge to Democrats across the country<\/a>, even unseating several sitting House lawmakers.<\/p>\n

It was a boon for Republicans, who argue that the Democratic Party is being pulled further left than where most Americans are comfortable with, painting the party as out-of-touch.<\/p>\n

Bell is now the heavy favorite to win a second term representing the deep-blue district in November.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
