Cori Bush Loses Primary To County Prosecutor
Progressive House Representative Falls To Bell
Bush's Loss Highlights Growing Divide Within Democratic Party
In a stunning upset, Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) has lost her primary election to St. Louis County Prosecutor Wesley Bell the second. Bush, one of the most outspoken progressives in the House, was seen as a rising star within the Democratic Party. Her loss highlights the growing divide within the party between its progressive and moderate wings.
Bush's defeat is a major setback for the progressive movement. She was one of the most vocal advocates for Medicare for All, the Green New Deal, and other progressive policies. Her loss shows that the progressive movement still has a long way to go before it can achieve its goals.
Bell, Bush's opponent, is a more moderate Democrat. He has promised to work across the aisle to get things done. His victory suggests that the Democratic Party is moving away from its progressive wing and towards the center.
The Democratic primary in Missouri is just one of many that will take place across the country this year. The results of these primaries will help to determine the future of the Democratic Party and the direction of the country.
