Missouri Rep. Cori Bush lost her Democratic primary to St. Louis County prosecutor Wesley Bell, marking a significant defeat for House progressives. Despite support from progressive groups, Bush's advocacy for a ceasefire in Gaza and her past votes were leveraged against her. Bell's victory positions him favorably for the general election in a solid blue district, highlighting a trend of incumbents being unseated in recent primaries.
