Cori Bush announces the Congressional offers after the primary loss of Missouri

The former representative Cori Bush, D-Mo., Announced Friday That she puts an offer to return to Congress for more than a year after losing her democratic primary to a more moderate challenger.

“Saint-Louis deserves a different leader,” said Bush in a video shared on social networks. “This is why I run to represent the 1st district of Missouri at the Congress. We need a fighter who will reduce costs, protect our communities and make life more equitable. I will be this fighter.”

The “Squad” member was ousted in the Democratic primary in August 2024 by the County Prosecutor of St. Louis, Wesley Bell, D-MO., Who is a more moderate candidate and had the support of pro-Israeli groups who spent millions to dislodge Bush.

“I ran for the congress to change things for ordinary people,” said Bush in the campaign launch video. “I run again because St. Louis deserves leadership that does not wait for permission, does not respond to the rich donors and does not hide when things become difficult.”

Bush was elected for the first time at Congress in November 2020, quickly joining the ranks of the progressive “squad”, including democratic representatives. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez from New York, Ilhan Omar from Minnesota and Rashida Tlaib from Michegan, who were elected in 2018.

The Missouri progressive was re-elected in 2022, but she became the second member of the team to lose his democratic primary last year after representative Jamaal Bowman, DN.Y., also lost against a more moderate pro-Israeli democrat.

Like Bowman, Bush had emerged at Congress as a vocal critic of the United States with Israel, calling Israel’s response to the terrorist attack on October 7 of Hamas a “war crime” for “the collective punishment of Israel against the Palestinians”.

“Throughout America, we see it,” said Bush. “Our rights have fallen, our history being rewritten, our lives at stake. The challenges of our community here have never been higher. I run because our district deserves someone to ten toes. For our families, for our wallets, for our security, for our democracy, and for our brilliant future. Saint-Louis is constructed different, me too, and me too.”

Shortly after President Donald Trump won the 2024 presidential election, Bush picked up a congress race in Politico.

“The team will continue to fight,” she said at the exit. “The figures will be lower for the 119th congress, but they will continue to fight for people who have the greatest need. They will not change their priorities and what they believe. The number of people in the Congress in the team will be simply smaller. But they have never been silent. Whoever underestimates our power is seriously wrong, because we will not go nowhere far.”

While the country has moved to the right in 2024, the Republicans obtaining control of the White House and Congress, the next mid-term elections prove to be a decisive test for the agenda of the second term of Trump.

And Bush’s announcement comes when the Republicans won victories in their redistribution battles, picking up five other Republican districts in Texas and a seat of the additional conservative congress in Missouri.
