‘Squad’ under siege as Rep. Cori Bush trails Democratic challenger by 23 percentage points: poll
NY Post ^ | JULY 15, 2024 | Carl Campanile

Another member of the left-leaning “Squad” in Congress is on the ropes — facing a 23 percentage point deficit and possibly headed for defeat, a new poll claims.

Rep. Cori Bush trails St. Louis prosecuting attorney Wesley Bell 56% to 33% in the Aug. 6 Democratic Primary for Missouri’s 1st Congressional District, the survey conducted by McLaughlin & Associates for the CCA Action Fund.

The remaining 11% were undecided or backed lesser known candidates, Ron Harshaw and Maria Chappelle-Nadal.

It’s the latest troubling sign for the liberal “Squad” after New York Rep. Jamaal Bowman was soundly defeated by moderate Westchester County Executive George Latimer in a June 25 Democratic primary in the 16th district stretching from Co-Op City in the Bronx to the leafy suburbs of Westchester County.

Bowman was the first member of the Squad — which includes New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-Bronx/Queens) — to be defeated in a party primary.

For those who don’t know, US House District 1 is a completely safe black democrat seat. Winning the dem primary means election in November.

Her opponent is heavily funded by AIPAC.
Sad to see “conservatives” cheering foreign influence in our elections.

I agree, but it won’t be happening in that district. I’m honestly surprised that she even has an opponent in her primary. I had assumed the job would be hers for years, not unlike the father-son pair who held the seat for decades.

Yay! Let’s cheer the defeat of a Squad member at the hands of another militant black Marxist who’ll totally be in the tank for AIPAC. At least Bush gave a damn about her constituents.

There are no smart people if they still live in NYC.

Hey, me too! But why can’t Republicans field a good candidate against her and other squad members? Why are they letting the biggest foreign lobbying group do it on their behalf?

First the fire-alarm puller and now maybe Bush? Things are looking up.

I’ll take a Dem favored by AIPAC over Bush any day. Yes he’s still a Dem but….

Some districts are so gerrymandered a Republican simply has no chance. See Maxine Waters, Nancy Pelosi, Clyburn, et al.
