Another member of the “squad” of progressive lawmakers is fighting for political survival in Tuesday’s primaries, which will also put former President Donald Trump’s endorsement to the test once again, including in Michigan’s crucial battleground Senate race.
Rep. Cori Bush’s Democratic primary in Missouri is among the most expensive and hotly contested races Tuesday, when voters in four states — Missouri, Washington, Michigan and Kansas — pick their parties’ nominees in congressional and state races.
Four years after she ousted longtime Rep. William Lacy Clay Jr. in the heavily Democratic 1st District, Bush is looking to win a race that has exposed the party’s divisions over Israel.
She has faced an onslaught of attacks from United Democracy Project, a super PAC tied to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, the pro-Israel lobbying group. The super PAC also spent millions to defeat a fellow “squad” member, Rep. Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y., in a June primary.
The pro-Israel super PAC has also worked to boost Bush’s challenger, St. Louis County Prosecutor Wesley Bell, who was initially running for the Senate but decided to take on Bush a few weeks after the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks.
And Bush isn’t the only House member on defense Tuesday.
Rep. Dan Newhouse, R-Wash., is once again looking to advance through a primary after he drew Trump’s ire for voting to impeach him after the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot.
Along with Rep. David Valadao of California, Newhouse is one of two pro-impeachment House Republicans still in office. The eight other Republicans either retired or lost to Trump-backed primary challengers two years ago.

It will be a joy watching Cori Bush get booted. Whoever replaces her is bound to be an improvement.
Make America a Sh*thole,Again (MASA)
I call them KACA Democrats for Keep America Crappy Always. It has the additional advantage of a Spanish translation.
The final sentence answered my question. Only 2 of 8 traitors remain this morning.
Encouraging.
Throw the bum out
That hot Tiffany woman in Washington vs. the Trump-hating rino.
Might be a winning way. Run for an unwindable senate seat and make a positive impression. Followup in 2 years with a house seat. James in Mich. did it.
Fine but the other fella was more impressive. Too bad they’re not fro different districts.
