Rep. Cori Bush Loses Primary

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo.—Another member of the “Squad” is headed out of Congress.

On Aug. 6, voters in Missouri’s 1st Congressional District chose Wesley Bell in the jurisdiction’s Democratic Party primary. As the predominantly black and urban district covering much of St. Louis and its northern suburbs is heavily Democratic, Bell will likely secure a seat in the House in November.

As of 12:45 a.m. on Aug. 7, with 95 percent of the vote counted, 51.2 percent of the district’s Democratic Party voters picked Bell, while 45.6 voted for Rep. Cori Bush’s (D-Mo.).

In a statement published on social media, Bell said his victory belongs to his volunteers and supporters. “I am committed to serving the St. Louis region in Congress with integrity, transparency, and dedication,” Bell said in an Aug. 6 X post. “Together, we will tackle the challenges ahead and build a community where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.”

The results were consistent with pre-election polling, which showed Bell taking a slight advantage over the incumbent. In the final days of the race, Bell also received a notable endorsement from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch newspaper.

Bell, the prosecuting attorney for St. Louis County, Missouri, since 2019, campaigned on the premise that Bush was too wrapped up in national political issues in Washington while he would be more focused on his constituents and their interests.
