Missouri Representative Cori Bush is facing on Tuesday one of the most high-profile primary elections in the country, as the member of the progressive group known as "The Squad" takes on a challenger heavily financed by a pro-Israel lobbying group due to her vocal criticism of the country's war against Hamas in Gaza. Several investigations by the Justice Department, Federal Election Commission and House Ethics Committee over alleged misuse of campaign funds for personal security are in voters' focus as well.
Bush appears to be at serious risk of losing her seat against prosecutor Wesley Bell, with most polls showing her trailing her opponent. The FiveThirtyEight survey aggregator shows that the last study, conducted by the Mellman Group in late July, had Bell in the lead with 48% of the support compared to Bush's 42%.
