Congressman Wesley Bell, who ousted Bush in 2024, defeated her comeback bid in another race shaped by divisions over Israel and Gaza. Bell has become a reliable pro-Israel vote in Congress, including backing sanctions on the ICC

St. Louis-area congressman Wesley Bell faces a Democratic primary rematch Tuesday with former congresswoman Cori Bush, who lost the seat to Bell in 2024.

Unlike the DSA newcomers who won in New York and Colorado, Bush has a political history looming over her comeback bid.
