‚Squad‘ member and Democrat Rep. Cori Bush lost her reelection bid during Missouri’s primary elections on Tuesday.
Rep. Cori Bush, D-Mo., lost her reelection bid during Missouri’s primary elections on Tuesday, making her the second “Squad” member to receive the pink slip from voters this year.
With 99 percent of votes tabulated as of publication, Wesley Bell is projected to be the Democrat nominee in the battle for the Show Me State’s 1st Congressional District this November. Preliminary results show Bell won 51.2 percent of the vote, with Bush finishing second with 45.6 percent.
Democrats Maria Chappelle-Nadal and Ron Harshaw are projected to finish third and fourth, respectively.
Bush’s ouster came weeks after her fellow “Squad” member and Democrat Rep. Jamaal Bowman lost his reelection bid during New York’s June 25 primary elections.
Polls correctly predicted Bush’s defeat in the weeks leading up to Tuesday’s race.
