前众议院“国会小队”成员科里·布什发起的复出竞选于周二晚间失败，建制派民主党人在本党与激进左翼的内战中取得关键胜利。
密苏里州民主党众议员韦斯利·贝尔自2024年以来第二次击败这位前众议员、美国民主社会主义者组织成员。
贝尔将自己定位为布什的务实替代人选，同时仍自称进步派，以吸引密苏里州第一国会选区的民主党选民。

步入国会之前，贝尔曾是密苏里州弗格森市市议员和县检察官。
布什以“黑人的命也是命”组织者身份踏入政坛，在国会任职两届后输给贝尔。
她将2024年的失利归咎于其选区外的亲以色列团体为此次竞选投入的数十万美元资金。

这位极左翼激进分子此次也采用了类似的攻击策略，指责贝尔受美国以色列公共事务委员会（AIPAC）操控。
“当这场灾难造成16亿美元损失并夺走多条生命时，韦斯利却在不到90天后乘坐由特朗普资助者买单的航班前往以色列，”布什上周在X平台上发帖称，她所指的是2025年5月席卷圣路易斯部分地区的龙卷风。
但这些攻击未能对贝尔的竞选造成足够冲击。

布什是席卷全国的美国民主社会主义者组织候选人浪潮中的一员，这些候选人对民主党人构成挑战，甚至击败了多名现任众议院议员。

这对共和党人来说是个好消息，他们辩称民主党正被拉向超出大多数美国人接受范围的极左立场，将民主党描绘成脱离群众的政党。
贝尔现在是11月连任代表这个深蓝选区的热门人选。

A comeback bid launched by former House “Squad” member Cori Bush was thwarted on Tuesday night, as establishment Democrats notched a key victory in the party’s civil war with the insurgent left.
Rep. Wesley Bell, D-Mo., defeated the former congresswoman and Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) member for the second time since 2024.
Bell ran as a pragmatic alternative to Bush, while still touting himself as a progressive to appeal to Democrats in Missouri’s 1st Congressional District.

Before coming to Congress, Bell was a Ferguson, Missouri City Council member and a county prosecutor.
Bush made her name in politics as a Black Lives Matter organizer before coming to Congress, serving two terms before losing to Bell.
She blamed her 2024 loss on the hundreds of thousands of dollars that pro-Israel groups from outside her district spent on the race.

The far-left firebrand utilized a similar line of attack against Bell this time around as well, accusing him of being controlled by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC).
“When the disaster caused $1.6 billion in damages and took several lives, Wesley responded by hopping on a flight to Israel funded by Trump’s donors less than 90 days later,” Bush posted on X last week, referring to a 2025 tornado that tore through part of St. Louis.
But those attacks failed to make enough of a dent in Bell’s campaign.

Bush was part of a wave of DSA-linked candidates posing a challenge to Democrats across the country, even unseating several sitting House lawmakers.

It was a boon for Republicans, who argue that the Democratic Party is being pulled further left than where most Americans are comfortable with, painting the party as out-of-touch.
Bell is now the heavy favorite to win a second term representing the deep-blue district in November.
