Democrats Boot Cori Bush Out of Office

She lost her primary. She'll serve until January before she gets back to her real business, hardcore racial grift fundraising.

Missouri Democratic Rep. Cori Bush has lost renomination in Missouri's 1st congressional district to St. Louis County prosecutor Wesley Bell, marking the second loss for a member of the far-left "Squad" in Democratic primaries this year.

Key Details:

Bush lost to Bell by a 5.3 percentage point margin, with Bell leading 51% to 45.7% after 94% of votes were counted.

Bush's defeat follows fellow "Squad" member Rep. Jamaal Bowman's loss in New York's 16th District Democratic primary in June.

Bush's criticism of Israel was a central issue in the race with the American Israel Public Affairs Committee spending nearly $9 million to support Bell and unseat Bush.

Ilhan Omar is also facing a primary challenger this coming Tuesday.

Representative Ilhan Omar's Democratic challenger has sent her a warning after a fellow "Squad" member, Congresswoman Cori Bush, failed to be reelected to her district for a third term in this year's primaries.

...

Following the result, challengers to other members of the progressive group of Democrats issued warnings, including Don Samuels, who is running against Omar in Minnesota's 5th Congressional District.

"Congratulations, Wesley! It's clear that Democrats around the country are ready to move on from those who put politics above the people. In just one week, MN CD5 has the opportunity to do the same. To everyone in Minneapolis and the suburbs, I hope to earn your support," Samuels wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

...

Squad members are battling to keep their seats as the American Israel Public Affairs Committee and the United Democracy Project spend large amounts of money to defeat them over their criticism of Israel amid the war in Gaza.

Though Omar has expressed similar views [similar to Bush's and Bowman's] about the Israel-Hamas war, AIPAC and UDP have largely stayed out of her primary race. Omar has significantly outraised Samuels, entering July with $1.8 million cash on hand after raising $1.6 million in the second quarter of the year, her campaign announced. Samuels entered the same period with just over $334,000 cash on hand and raised $535,000 in the second quarter, his campaign said.

Polls have shown that Omar is ahead of her opponent in the primary race, with a Lake Research Partners survey conducted between July 17 and 21 showing her with 60 percent support to Samuels' 33 percent. A Victoria Research and Consulting poll from February put the congresswoman at 49 percent to her opponent's 30 percent.

Meanwhile, Samuels has had to answer for remarks he made about Omar's appearance and for calling her a "pawn for Hamas," which the Council on American-Islamic Relations condemned.

Oh well, if CAIR "condemned" it, then...

Samuels' campaign said it had met with pro-Israel advocacy groups, including AIPAC, and that there was still time for them to step in and help. He added that their lack of support showed they had misread the district.

Minnesota is an open primary state so if you're, sadly, a Republican in this brother-marrying Hamas fiend's district, make sure to vote for her primary opponent.
