Cori Bush Faces Tough Primary Bid on Tuesday

Congresswoman in the Fight of Her Political Life

Six Weeks After Leading the Charge to Oust Rep. Jamaal Bowman in a New York Primary, a Big-Spending Pro-Israel Group Pours Millions Into Defeating a Second Squad Member.

Missouri Congresswoman Cori Bush is in the fight of her political life in Tuesday's Democratic primary. Days before she was set to face a challenger backed by America's largest pro-Israel group, a new poll shows St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Wesley Bell leading Rep. Bush.

The race has been closely watched as a test of the influence of pro-Israel groups in Democratic primaries. AIPAC, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, has spent millions of dollars on advertising and mailers attacking Bush, who has been critical of Israel's treatment of Palestinians.

Bush has defended her record, saying that she supports a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and that she is committed to fighting for the rights of all people.

The primary is expected to be close, and the outcome could have implications for the future of the Democratic Party. If Bush loses, it will be a major setback for the progressive wing of the party, which has been ascendant in recent years.
