Cori Bush Faces Tight Primary Challenge from Well-Funded Wesley Bell
Polls show Bush trailing as pro-Israel groups pour millions into Bell's campaign for Missouri's 1st Congressional District.
- Wesley Bell leads Cori Bush by 6 points in the latest poll, with 48% to her 42%.
- Bell has received significant financial backing from AIPAC and other pro-Israel groups, totaling over $7 million.
- Bush's stance on Israel and Gaza has made her a target for right-wing and pro-Israel donors.
- The primary race has become one of the most expensive in U.S. history, with $15 million spent so far.
- Both candidates emphasize their records on progressive issues, but differ sharply on foreign policy and campaign funding.
