The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) spent $15 million to help secure George Latimer’s victory over Jamaal Bowman in New York and now they have their sights set on Missouri’s 1st district, where Rep. Cori Bush is facing a primary challenge from prosecutor Wesley Bell.
Bush advocated for Palestinian rights on the campaign trail in 2020, and she’s been strong on the issue as a House member, making her a consistent target of Israel lobbying groups.
Mondoweiss U.S. correspondent Michael Arria spoke to JVP Action Political Director Beth Miller about Cori Bush’s record in Congress, Wesley Bell’s politics, and how much AIPAC is spending on the race.
