Embattled House Rep. Cori Bush was endorsed by the three top House Democrats on Tuesday.
A member of the progressive 'Squad' who is fighting for her political life just got a boost from House Democratic leadership. Rep. Cori Bush, D-Mo., is running in a competitive primary election this year against an opponent who has set himself up as a more moderate pro-Israel alternative to the outspoken lawmaker. Bush, however, scored an endorsement from House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., Minority Whip Katherine Clark, D-Mass., and Democratic Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar, D-N.
Cori has shown up for the people of St. Louis in the fight for reproductive freedom, gun violence prevention and affordable housing. We stand together to endorse Cori Bush for re-election as we collectively work hard to make life better for everyday Americans and battle the corrosive extreme MAGA Republican agenda,' the trio said in a joint statement. Bush said she was 'proud' to have their support in a celebratory post on Instagram.
Bush's Aug. 6 primary will come weeks after Rep. Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y., became the first 'Squad' member to get booted from the House over their anti-Israel stances. He lost his race to Westchester County Executive George Latimer, a moderate pro-Israel Democrat who, like Bell, was backed by AIPAC.
