Cori Bush (D) lost her primary in Missouri on Tuesday in the latest blow to the progressive \u201csquad\u201d on Capitol Hill, according to a projection from Decision Desk HQ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bush\u2019s loss to St. Louis Prosecuting Attorney Wesley Bell in the 1st Congressional District\u2019s Democratic primary makes her the second member of the group to lose reelection after Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-N.Y.) earlier this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The racial justice activist\u2019s failure to secure a third House term came after her race received outsized attention for the amount of money that poured in. Pro-Israel special interest groups spent the most on the race, with the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) and the United Democracy Project (UDP), AIPAC\u2019s super PAC, dropping some $9 million to defeat Bush, who has been critical of Israel\u2019s war against the terrorist organization Hamas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ahead of Election Day, Bush\u2019s allies and campaign organizers worried that the amount of cash would be too great for Bush to overcome, prompting an intraparty debate over how grassroots organizing should be handled. Some predicted that a high-profile loss for Bush would make candidates and strategists rethink the playbooks they\u2019ve been using against well-funded opponents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That reset may be forthcoming after the results showed Bush will not progress to the November general election. Bell is expected to win the solidly blue seat in the fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to criticism surrounding her position on the conflict in the Middle East, Bush also had to contend with the political ramifications of a federal investigation into allegations she used campaign money inappropriately to obtain special House security, which she insists are inaccurate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though progressives are likely to be even more anxious about their future in Congress following Tuesday night\u2019s defeat, the results for them this cycle have been mixed. Though Bush and Bowman\u2019s losses put them on notice, other progressives, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), are likely to glide to reelection. And another squad member, Rep. Summer Lee (D-Pa.), won her primary earlier this year despite being outspent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those mixed results raise question about how progressive incumbents can beat challengers with more money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rep.
