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.
