'Squad' member's comeback bid thwarted as establishment Dems notch victory against socialists

Cori Bush, a former House member and Democratic Socialists of America member, lost to Wesley Bell in Missouri's 1st Congressional District for the second time since 2024. Bell positioned himself as a pragmatic progressive alternative, while Bush accused him of being influenced by pro-Israel groups. The victory is seen as a win for establishment Democrats over left-wing challengers.
