Pro-Israel Congressman Wesley Bell has defeated pro-Palestinian incumbent Cori Bush in the Missouri Democratic primary, according to N12's Asaf Rosenzweig. Bell's campaign reportedly received over $2 million in support from the AIPAC pro-Israel lobby. The rematch of their 2024 contest marks a significant pro-Israel victory within the Democratic Party.
This morning, N12's Asaf Rosenzweig reported that pro-Israel Congressman Wesley Bell defeated pro-Palestinian incumbent Cori Bush in the Missouri Democratic primary, with AIPAC contributing more than $2 million to Bell's campaign. The Zioneer earlier reported (04:48 Jerusalem) Bell's victory, citing Amichai Stein of i24NEWS, which noted AIPAC spending of $2–3 million. The new report confirms the result and the substantial AIPAC investment. Bell's win—a repeat of his 2024 defeat of Bush—is a boost for pro-Israel voices in the Democratic Party as the general election approaches.
