Cori Bush Faces Spending Surge, Fights for Political Life
Bush Criticizes Israel's War in Gaza, Sparking Outrage
In the latest battle highlighting Democratic divisions over Israel, Cori Bush is facing a spending surge from prosecutor Wesley Bell in her Missouri primary race. Bush, a leading critic of Israel's war in Gaza, has come under fire for her criticism of Israel's military actions following Hamas's October 7 attack, which killed at least 1,400 people.
Surge in Spending by Political Arm of AIPAC
The United Democracy Project, the political arm of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), has spent more than $1 million in support of Bell, according to Federal Election Commission filings. This surge in spending could pose a significant challenge to Bush, who has been a vocal advocate for Palestinian rights.
The primary election will be held on August 2, and the outcome could have implications for the Democratic Party's stance on Israel in the upcoming midterm elections.
