哥伦比亚广播公司新闻预测，当地时间周二，众议员韦斯利·贝尔在密苏里州第一国会选区激烈的民主党初选中击败前众议员科里·布什。
这场选举是民主党建制派与民主社会主义者之间就党派未来以及美国与以色列盟友关系爆发的党内分歧的最新体现。鉴于该选区以民主党选民为主，贝尔有望在11月的大选中获胜。
贝尔是一名温和派民主党人，支持美国与以色列的盟友关系。自2025年击败连任两届的布什以来，他一直代表这个包括圣路易斯在内的深蓝选区。布什作为“黑人的命也是命”活动人士崭露头角，并将自己2024年的败选归咎于亲以色列游说团体，该团体斥巨资反对她的连任。
7月24日，两人就2024年总统大选对卡玛拉·哈里斯的支持、美国对以色列的军事援助以及竞选资金支出展开了激烈辩论。
在以色列问题上，贝尔本月早些时候投票反对终止对以色列33亿美元的军事援助，此次投票导致众议院民主党人分裂。贝尔处于少数派，更多民主党议员投票支持终止对以援助。
“我并不支持本雅明·内塔尼亚胡，但我们仍将站在盟友一边，”贝尔说道。
布什表示，她支持“在发生侵犯人权行为时”切断军事援助。
“至于以色列可能需要的其他方面的资金，我对此没有异议，”她补充道。
尽管布什认为以色列在加沙地带犯下了种族灭绝罪，但贝尔并未直接回应这一问题。
贝尔指责布什在两年前接受半岛电视台采访时称哈里斯为法西斯主义者，当时布什在采访中称：“我听到人们说：‘我们正在谈论打击法西斯主义。我们不需要唐纳德·特朗普总统任期带来的法西斯主义。’但我觉得我现在就在拜登政府和哈里斯副总统的任期中看到了法西斯主义。”
“在这场选举取决于五六个州数千张选票的关键时刻，你称她为法西斯主义者，除了你之外所有人都清楚选举的任务所在，”贝尔说道。
布什回应称：“我称他们为法西斯主义者了吗？没有。法西斯主义的抬头始于特朗普政府。随后我们向他国投放炸弹，投入了如此多的资金，而其中很大一部分资金来自那些通过政治行动委员会为韦斯利·贝尔众议员提供资助的人。”
布什指责贝尔“篡改历史”，而贝尔则认为布什为了试图解释某些事情“把自己扭成了椒盐卷饼”。
随着贝尔指责布什“喜欢利用悲剧”，并提及布什的丈夫面临的与疫情期间救助资金相关的联邦指控，两人之间的怨恨进一步升级。
“这是实实在在的诽谤，”布什插话道，“我不会允许你说出这种不实之词。”
贝尔还强调，布什用竞选资金给自己和负责安保的丈夫发放薪水，这种行为在某些规则下是合法的。
“科里的所作所为是筹集资金，然后将其转入自己的银行账户供自己使用，”他说道。
“我不会谈论你的私事，即使我知道这些事。我会保持分寸，不谈论你的私事，”布什回应道，“仅仅因为你像唐纳德·特朗普那样说某件事，并不意味着它就是真的。”
Wesley Bell beats Cori Bush in Missouri Democratic House primary rematch that put party’s rifts on full display

Rep. Wesley Bell on Tuesday beat former congresswoman Cori Bush in a heated Democratic primary in Missouri’s 1st Congressional District, CBS News projects.
The race was the latest display of intraparty rifts between establishment Democrats and democratic socialists over the future of the party and the U.S. alliance with Israel. Given the district’s heavily Democratic leaning, Bell is favored to win in November.
Bell, a moderate Democrat who is supportive of the U.S. relationship with Israel, has represented the solid-blue district, which includes St. Louis, since 2025 after unseating the two-term Bush, who rose to prominence as a Black Lives Matter activist and blamed her 2024 defeat on the pro-Israel lobby, which spent millions against her.
The two clashed in a fiery debate on July 24 over their support for Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election, U.S. military aid for Israel and campaign spending.
On Israel, Bell voted earlier this month against eliminating $3.3 billion in assistance to Israel in a vote that split House Democrats. Bell was in the minority, with more Democrats voting in favor of ending aid.
“I am no fan of Bibi Netanyahu, but we’re still going to stand with our allies,” Bell said.
Bush said she supports cutting off military aid “while human rights violations are happening.”
“Now funding for other things that they may need, I have no problem with that,” she added.
While Bush said she believes Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, Bell did not directly answer the question.
Bell accused Bush of calling Harris a fascist in comments she made two years ago in an interview with Al Jazeera, in which she said: “What I’m hearing is people say: ‘Well, we’re talking about fighting fascism. We don’t need the fascism that comes along with a Donald Trump presidency.’ But I feel like I’m seeing fascism right now, with a Joe Biden presidency and a Vice President Harris presidency.”
“You called her a fascist at a time when this election came down to a few thousand votes in five or six states, and everyone understood the assignment except you,” Bell said.
Bush responded, “Did I call them fascists? No. There was a rise in fascism, starting with the Trump administration. And then how we were able to send so much money to go and bomb people in another country, and it was so much of that was funded by a lot of the people that fund Congressman Wesley Bell through these PACs.”
Bush accused Bell of “revisionist history” while Bell argued Bush was twisting “herself into a pretzel to try to explain some things.”
The bitterness between the two escalated as Bell alleged Bush has a penchant for “exploiting tragedies,” referring to federal charges her husband faced related to pandemic-era relief.
“That is actual defamation,” Bush interjected. “I will not allow you to say something that is actually untrue.”
Bell also emphasized how Bush paid herself a salary and her husband, who provided her security, with campaign donations, which is legal under certain rules.
“What Cori has done is she’s raised money and then routed it into her own bank account for our own use,” he said.
“I don’t talk about your personal stuff, even though I know it. I’m going to keep my holiness and not talk about your personal stuff,” Bush responded. “Just because you say something, like Donald Trump, it doesn’t mean it’s true.”
