Pelosi Backs Bell in Missouri Primary | St. Louis News

Nancy Pelosi just made a big move in Missouri, showing up in Ferguson to rally behind Wesley Bell in his bid to retain his House seat — a rematch against Cori Bush, the fiery former congresswoman he narrowly defeated in 2024. With a historic fundraising haul last time around, this race is heating up fast. Pelosi praised Bell as a pragmatic legislator focused on results, not rhetoric, and teamed up with Rep. Emmanuel Cleaver to slam GOP plans to slash federal health funding. While both candidates agree on abortion rights and criminal justice reform, their biggest divide? Gaza. Bush accuses Bell of accepting pro-Israel money and letting it sway his stance — a charge Bell’s camp hasn’t addressed yet. With Bush’s team silent for now, this primary is shaping up to be one of the most watched in the nation. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
