Yet another member of the infamous “Squad” is sinking below water with only 24 hours to go before polls close, which could result in her losing the Democratic primary. I don’t mean to be a rude individual, well, maybe I do a little, but you just love to see it, don’t you? Individuals who make up the Squad are extremists who push a far-left agenda that, if implemented, would obliterate the United States as we know it today. That’s a hard pass from me, dog.
The folks at Trending Politics News are reporting:
The 2024 election cycle has been unkind to members of the informal far-left group of Democratic lawmakers who prioritize showmanship and rhetoric over service and results. In June, New York Congressman Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) lost his primary to a pro-Israel Westchester native after voters grew tired of his pro-Palestinian grandstanding and photo ops with progressive Jewish leaders who, it turns out, never liked him very much. The story may repeat itself this week in Missouri’s 1st District this week where Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) is badly trailing progressive prosecutor Wesley Bell.
The Jewish Insider, which has closely chronicled the rise and fall of anti-Israel Squad members in Congress, reported on a poll by the political arm of the Democratic Majority for Israel, DMFI PAC, showing Bell leading Bush 48%-42%, well outside the margin of error and putting Bush on track to lose her reelection on Tuesday. If the result holds, she would not fare as poorly as Bowman who lost by a wide margin of 58.4% to 41.6%. The Bell campaign is taking the results in stride while taking nothing for granted.
“Wesley is finishing the last few days of this primary campaign the way he’s been running the whole time: talking with people, hearing their concerns and sharing his vision for better representation for this district,” Anjan Mukherjee, a spokesperson representing the Bell campaign, went on to say in a statement to Jewish Insider on Thursday. “That’s how he was elected as a city councilman and county prosecutor, and it’s why he will be the next member of Congress from MO-01.”
Bush is probably feeling deeply betrayed by her fellow radicals after a huge number of progressive activists, along with labor unions and even chapters of Black Lives Matter, have decided to back Bell instead of her. Insert crying face emojis here. Of course, she essentially got nothing done during her time in office, making her one of the least productive individuals in the 118th Congress. She could have dodged absorbing a tongue-lashing from her critics over that had it not been for a series of politically sensitive scandals that ruined her carefully cultivated image as an outsider.
” She struggled to describe the tax code after announcing her reelection campaign, and in January the Justice Department quietly launched an investigation into her hiring of a bodyguard with no credentials who was paid more than $100,000 over two years. The guard, Nathaniel Davis, has a history of making virulent antisemitic statements. Bush and Cortney Merritts, another bodyguard, tied the knot in a private ceremony in February 2023. Earlier this month the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, her hometown paper, endorsed Bell,” the report explained.
While she’s seen a massive drop in support from just about every corner of the political sphere, there are still some in House Democratic leadership who are standing by her side. House Minority Whip Katherine Clark, a Massachusetts Democrat, campaigned with Bush last week. However, Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, a New York Democrat, has, thus far, stayed out of the matter.
