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.

Thanks for posting - we need a landslide victory this November, and Reps like Bush taken out with the tide
Wait - Primary Aug 6 ? Man that’s late ; I thought they were all done
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.
defeat every dem!
Her opponent is heavily funded by AIPAC.
Sad to see “conservatives” cheering foreign influence in our elections.
Been saying for a while there is not enough jew haters to keep these squad douche bags in power
...and Reps like Bush taken out with the TRASH....................

Cori's opponent.
Sweet!
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.
Are the smart people of NYC still supporting AOC?
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.
Are the smart people of NYC still supporting AOC?
There are no smart people if they still live in NYC.
I’d cheer Satan’s minions if they were getting rid of Cori Bush...
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.
