Cori Bush Loses Primary, Pro-Israel Group Claims Victory

Progressive House member defeated by local pastor

Bush was one of the most outspoken progressives in the House

Cori Bush, a prominent member of the progressive "Squad" in the House of Representatives, lost her Democratic primary on Tuesday to local pastor Wesley Bell.

Bush, who has been a vocal critic of Israel and a supporter of the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement, was defeated by Bell, who was endorsed by the pro-Israel group AIPAC.

AIPAC has been spending heavily to defeat progressive candidates who are critical of Israel. The group spent more than $2 million to defeat Bush in the primary.

Bush's defeat is a major victory for AIPAC and its allies. It is also a sign that the Democratic Party is becoming increasingly divided over Israel.

In a statement, Bush said she was "disappointed" by the results of the primary, but she vowed to continue fighting for her values.

"I will not be silenced," she said. "I will continue to speak out against injustice, and I will continue to fight for the people of Missouri."
