Saturday

Cori was a progressive “squad” member very vocal against the genocide in Gaza..

During his town hall, Wesley Hall spoke about his strong support for Israel and it didn’t go well.

Old HAARETZ headline “Another Victory for AIPAC: Wesley Bell and $8.5 Million Defeat 'Squad' Member Cori Bush”

Old Axios headline - “AIPAC's fight to take out another "Squad" member turns brutal”
The pro-Israel lobbying group AIPAC is pouring money into its effort to take out a second member of the progressive "Squad" this cycle, Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.)— and the fight is turning predictably bitter.”

Cori said running against Bell again in 2026 is not off the table.
