Former Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.) announced Friday she’s launching a comeback bid to represent Missouri’s 1st Congressional District after she was ousted in her primary last year by Rep. Wesley Bell (D-Mo.).“I ran for Congress because I know what it feels like to be a working-class St. Louisan. Too often unseen, unheard, left out,” Bush said in a more than two-minute ad. “I promised to fight for St. Louis, and we delivered.”Bush, who served in the House between 2021 and 2025 and was a member of the progressive group known as the “squad,” was defeated during her primary last year as a group aligned with the pro-Israel American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) and other opponents spent millions backing her opponent, Bell, the then-St. Louis County prosecutor.
Not too surpised to see Bush try to make her back to Congress. As she never struck me as the type who'd be satisfied officially joining the Bluesky/Resistance movement, do a podcast or make the rounds on liberal/CNN panels or something. Nah, Cori misses that Congresswoman title and all the benefits that come with it. Still the idea that MAGA is to blame for her loss last year as much as AIPAC was, is pretty laughable.
