Next Squad Member to Face Primary Is Already Behind in Poll
On the heels of the Tuesday defeat of the New York Democrat Jamaal Bowman, another prominent member of the progressive “Squad” in the U.S. House, Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO), had worrying news of her own: a poll showing her behind in her primary contest.
First reported by Politico, the poll showed Bush at 42 percent support, one point behind challenger Wesley Bell, the St. Louis County prosecuting attorney.
That was within the margin of error but there was another striking finding: Bell led by one point after trailing by 16 in the previous such survey, from January.
