Former Rep. Cori Bush, D-Mo., is running to regain her seat in Missouri’s 1st Congressional District, which she lost to Rep. Wesley Bell, D-Mo., in November 2024. Bush has been criticizing Bell for his pro-Israel stance and accusing him of being too close to Republicans. The primary elections are set for this Tuesday. Bush has released an ad accusing Bell of not doing enough to help St. Louis recover from a May 2025 tornado and instead traveling to Israel with AIPAC. Bell’s campaign has responded, pointing to his work in securing FEMA disaster relief for the area.
