Democratic Missouri Rep. Cori Bush, a member of the progressive group of lawmakers known as "The Squad," has lost her primary against prosecutor Wesley Bell, heavily funded by a pro-Israel group following her strident criticism of the country's war in Gaza, according to an AP projection.
Bell is set to become the representative of Missouri's 1st Congressional District in the next term, considering it has historically voted for the Democratic party. "I recognize that we can't get anything done without majorities, and so that means we need to work with our fellow Democrats up there, and we also when we can reach across the aisle and work with folks to get things done for this region and for this country," Bell told NBC News before Tuesday's primaries.
