Rep. Wesley Bell (D-MO) easily brushed off a comeback attempt by former Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO), whom he defeated in 2024, in a race where AIPAC spent over $3 million to help reelect the pro-Israel incumbent.
Bell’s race was called by the Associated Press just over an hour after polls closed. With about one-third of the vote in, Bell held a commanding 69-27% lead, winning huge margins in the suburbs of St. Louis County and a healthy margin among Bush’s base in the city of St. Louis, as well.
Bell is on track to easily outpace his five-point victory over Bush in 2024, the year he ousted the far-left, scandal-plagued Democrat from Congress.
Despite expected setbacks in Michigan’s Senate race, where Abdul El-Sayed is holding the lead over Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI), pro-Israel Democrats are cheering the victory by state Sen. Jeremy Moss, a Jewish Democrat strongly supportive of the Jewish state, for winning his nomination in Stevens’ district. Moss leads far-left challenger Aisha Farooqi by 15 points, with most votes counted.
