Womp-Womp: Second Squad Member Gets Kicked To The Curb In A Primary
The Show-me state became the show-Cori-the-door-state
Not long ago, ‘The Squad’ was the belle of the ball, getting front-page spreads on the magazines as the ‘next new thing’. Now, the Show-me state became the show-Cori-the-door-state.
Fawning crowds are fickle things, especially in the backstabbing world of politics.
When they first arrived on the scene, they showed up with massive social media followings and an ability to summon an army of social media activists to swarm any dissenting opinion. To political types where communication is often mistaken for actual results, they looked like they were the next horse to which a political wagon could be hitched.
A lot has changed since the Squad came to town. Elections have come and gone. So has a pandemic. And we’re on the threshold of politics becoming a LOT more personal than they used to be… as in, questions of ‘I can’t pay my bills’ now overtaking concerns about niche red team/blue team issues.
The issues championed by the squad haven’t been improving the lives of people in their neighborhoods. Town halls have even taken on a whole other tone… a far less friendly one that the let’s have a party vibe they rode in on.
Cori Bush, one of the loudest of a generally abrasive and annoying bunch, had her primary yesterday. Even Democrats are sick of her schtick. In the end, it was her Hamas-Caucus loyalty that did her in.
St. Louis County Prosecutor Wesley Bell has defeated Bush, NBC News projects. Bell is expected to carry Missouri’s deep-blue 1st Congressional District in November after a primary that exposed the party’s divisions on Israel, with Bush a vocal critic of the Israeli government and the country’s response to Hamas’ terrorist attacks on Oct. 7.
“I’ll be a progressive member of Congress, but I’m also going to be a practical member of Congress,” Bell told NBC News over the weekend. “I recognize that we can’t get anything done without majorities, and so that means we need to work with our fellow Democrats up there, and we also when we can reach across the aisle and work with folks to get things done for this region and for this country.”
United Democracy Project, a super PAC tied to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, the pro-Israel lobby, poured nearly $9 million onto the airwaves attacking Bush and boosting Bell. Bell had initially been running for the Senate, but he decided to challenge Bush in a primary a few weeks after the Hamas attacks on Israel. — NBC
In the second-most expensive campaign in the ‘second-most expensive primary race on record’.
In an X post, political spending analysis firm AdImpact said more than $18.2 million had been spent on political advertising in the primary race as of Aug. 2, making it the second-most expensive primary contest ever.
The most expensive contest, according to Ad Impact, was this year’s Democratic primary in New York’s 16th Congressional District between another Squad member, Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-N.Y.), and Westchester County Executive George Latimer. The super PAC United Democracy Project, according to FEC records, threw about $9.8 million into that race for Latimer who beat out Bowman by a 17-point margin. —EpochTimes
