Cori Bush Gets a Primary Challenger

St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Wesley Bell (D) announced Monday he will drop his bid to unseat Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) in 2024, and will instead make a run at a fellow Democrat — Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO), the AP reports.

The decision comes as Bush has taken criticism for her response to the Hamas attack on Israel, including her call in a social media post to end “US government support for Israeli military occupation and apartheid.”
