Cori Bush, a Democrat representing Missouri's 1st Congressional District and a prominent member of the progressive "squad," has lost her primary election to Steven Roberts Jr. Bush's defeat marks another victory for pro-Israel groups that have targeted progressive candidates who have criticized Israel's treatment of Palestinians.
Background
Bush, a vocal supporter of the Black Lives Matter movement, has been a target of pro-Israel groups since she called Israel an "apartheid state." These groups have spent heavily on advertising and other efforts to defeat her.
Significance
Bush's loss is a setback for the progressive wing of the Democratic Party and a sign of the growing influence of pro-Israel groups in American politics. It also raises questions about the future of the "squad," which has been a vocal critic of Israel.
Future Implications
It remains to be seen how Bush's loss will affect the broader Democratic Party and the upcoming midterm elections. However, it is clear that pro-Israel groups will continue to play a significant role in American politics.
