She’s back…
Former progressive Missouri lawmaker Cori Bush is making a comeback bid.
On Friday, Bush announced her new campaign more than a year after losing her Democratic primary to a more moderate challenger.
“St. Louis deserves a leader who is built different,” Bush announced in a video shared on social media. “That’s why I’m running to represent Missouri’s 1st District in Congress. We need a fighter who will lower costs, protect our communities, and make life fairer. I’ll be that fighter.”
The “Squad” member was ousted in the Democrat primary in Aug. 2024 by St. Louis County prosecutor Rep. Wesley Bell (D-MO), a more moderate candidate and had the backing of pro-Israel groups that spent millions to unseat Bush.
“I ran for Congress to change things for regular people,” Bush said in the campaign launch video. “I’m running again because St. Louis deserves leadership that doesn’t wait for permission, doesn’t answer to wealthy donors and doesn’t hide when things get tough.”
Bush was first elected to Congress in Nov. 2020, quickly joining the ranks of the progressive “Squad,” including Democratic Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, who were elected in 2018.
The Missouri progressive was reelected in 2022, but she became the second member of the “Squad” to lose her Democratic primary last year after Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) also lost to a more moderate pro-Israel Democrat.
Like Bowman, Bush had emerged in Congress as a vocal critic of the United States’ ties to Israel, calling Israel’s response to Hamas’ Oct. 7 terror attack a “war crime” for “Israel’s collective punishment against Palestinians.”
Soon after President Donald Trump won the 2024 presidential election, Bush teased a congressional run to Politico. (RELATED: Ousted Lawmaker Hints At Return To Politics)
“The Squad will keep fighting,” she told the outlet. “The numbers will be lower for the 119th Congress, but they will keep fighting for people who have the greatest need. They’re not going to change their priorities and what they believe. The number of people in Congress on the team will just be smaller. But they’ve never been silent. Anyone who underestimates our power is severely mistaken, because we aren’t going anywhere, and I will always be Squad. I’m not going far.”

She’s right in that she’s built different. She’s built like a tank, and she rumbles like one as well.
Cori Bush is definitely a person that can not be trusted to represent Missouri’s 1st District in Congress. She said “We need a fighter who will lower costs, protect our communities, and make life fairer. I’ll be that fighter.” As for lowering coast she voted for every cost increase that Biden ask for and protecting communities take a look at the crime rate, St. Louis Annual Crimes

So I ask you do you want her to represent you?
Stupid and corrupt. But that fits most Democrats. All her opponent needs to focus on, is her payments to her unqualified bodyguard husband while in office.
