Aipac Turns to Cori Bush After Helping To Defeat a Fellow ‘Squad’ Member, Jamaal Bowman
Bush, like Bowman, has recently faced accusations of unethical behavior and spouted fiercely anti-Israel rhetoric.

The American Israel Public Affairs Committee is training its eye on another “Squad” member — Congresswoman Cori Bush — after successfully helping to defeat her fellow progressive, Congressman Jamaal Bowman, in a Democratic primary on Tuesday. The group says it is prepared to spend millions of dollars ahead of Ms. Bush’s August 6 Missouri primary.
She is facing a strong challenger in St. Louis County’s prosecuting attorney, Wesley Bell, who is backed by Aipac. The group’s outside spending arm, United Democracy Project, has already spent more than $2 million in the Bush-Bell contest, and is expected to spend even more in the coming weeks after pouring more than $14 million into Mr. Bowman’s race. Aipac’s spending at New York’s 16th District helped make that election the most expensive House primary in American history.
