Bell Tops Bush in Missouri Primary | Jefferson City News

Wesley Bell pulls off a stunning comeback in Missouri’s Democratic primary, defeating Cori Bush in a rematch steeped in politics, policy, and local identity. Backed by AIPAC and touting a district-first, pragmatic approach, Bell wins over voters in St. Louis who crave stability over activism. Meanwhile, Republicans make gains with Rick Brattin and Chris Stigall securing nominations in key races, but Missouri voters reject two Republican-backed ballot measures — one to overhaul the amendment process, the other to slash income tax and boost sales tax — signaling strong resistance to structural change. Bell’s win sets him up for a November reelection in a solidly blue district, while GOP challengers face steep odds.
