Diving Deeper:

Rep. Cori Bush's defeat in Missouri's 1st Congressional District Democratic primary marks another loss for the far-left "Squad." St. Louis County prosecutor Wesley Bell defeated the two-term congresswoman by a 5.3 percentage point margin. The Associated Press called the race at 11 p.m., with Bell leading Bush 51% to 45.7% after 94% of the votes were counted.

Bush's loss follows a similar outcome for fellow "Squad" member Rep. Jamaal Bowman in New York's 16th District Democratic primary in June. Bowman was defeated by Westchester County Executive George Latimer by nearly 17 points.

Bush faced significant criticism over her stance on Israel. Bell, running as a moderate, criticized Bush's criticism on Israel as "wrong and offensive." The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) spent almost $9 million to unseat Bush.

Despite endorsements from House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Bush was unable to secure enough support. Polls conducted throughout the year showed Bell gaining ground, ultimately leading to his victory.

Bush's seat in Missouri's 1st Congressional District is one of two Democratic seats in the state's congressional delegation. Bell will now go on to face one of three Republican contenders, Stan Hall, Andrew Jones, or Michael Hebron, in the general election.
