Wesley Bell and Cori Bush Face Off in Missouri 1st Congressional District Primary
In the Missouri 1st Congressional District, a significant Democratic primary is set to take place on August 4, 2026. The race features incumbent Representative Wesley Bell and former Congresswoman Cori Bush. Bell, who unseated Bush two years ago, has been supported by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) due to his pro-Israel stance. Bush, known for her criticism of Israel, is attempting a political comeback, believing that public opinion has shifted in her favor. The winner of this primary is expected to secure the seat in the upcoming November elections, given the district's strong Democratic leaning.
