Former Missouri congresswoman Cori Bush, a prominent member of the progressive “Squad” and known for her anti-Israel stance, declared her intention to run again for Congress on Friday, JNS reported.
“Right now, we are in the fight of our lives. It isn’t politics as usual, and we can’t afford to operate as such,” Bush said. “This is about survival for our families, and the moment is now.”
Bush lost her seat in the Democratic primary last year to Rep. Wesley Bell, a fellow progressive with pro-Israel backing, who went on to win the general election. Reports indicated that pro-Israel lobbying group AIPAC invested $8.6 million in the race to defeat Bush.
“Cori Bush was one of the most hostile, anti-Israel voices in Congress,” said AIPAC spokesman Marshall Wittmann in a statement to JNS. “Our community was proud to help defeat her and help elect a strong Democratic leader, who fights for the people of St. Louis.”
In a video announcing her re-election bid, Bush highlighted her support for Gazans as a key achievement and accused AIPAC of targeting her re-election bid.
“Because I spoke truth, they pushed back, attacked my name, my motives, spread lies and hate,” she said, as headlines of AIPAC’s spending appeared onscreen.

Ohhhhh, She’s a Help.....
...for the GOP’s chances in Missouri?
So much for reading the room. The worm is turning, Cori and people are figuring out what it is you’re selling. And it ain’t shinola.

What a winning platform! Maybe she can throw her support behind pedophiles, too!
Identifies strongly with other great Missourians, such as Frank and Jesse James and the Younger Brothers.
I’m not getting your point, sir.
I hope she loses.
MAGA base has to be excited and motivated, to overcome in the mid-terms. They will be. But not over her.
We all do, big time.
Isn’t MO busy “gerrymandering” its Congressional districts at the moment?
Another one of Sandy Cortez’s squawd members putting on her war paint again. Gonna start pimping for assassins to kill Americans.
Already done. One district will (should) flip from D to R as a result. It won’t be the one where the racist who is the subject of this thread is running. The St. Louis area ghetto district remains solid D but the one around Kansas City now includes enough good areas to elect a good Republican.
People who vote for these idiots need to have their heads examined.
Missouri has 8 seats in the House. Until recently, two were locks for dems, a district covering Kansas City and the one covering St. Louis. Both held by blacks for decades. The K.C. district lines have been redrawn so there is the possibility for a Republican to win it. The St.L. seat remains safe for dems/blacks. To be honest, I was surprised by her loss in ‘24, I figured the seat would be hers for life.
Bush raising its ugly head again. Sheesh!
Aww. Has she spent all the graft and bribes she received while in Congress already?
She should invested in arms manufacture, the graft that keeps on giving.
