In Missouri's First District, Rep. Cori Bush faces Wesley Bell in a fierce primary battle. Pro-Israel groups have invested heavily in Bell's campaign, alleging that Bush cares more for her own image than the needs of her constituents. 

Bush counters with accusations of racism, suggesting that the support for Bell stems from "far right" agendas aimed at diminishing her influence. Amidst these tensions, Bell seeks to assert that his focus remains on the district, presenting a nuanced stance on Israel while attempting to unite voters.

The race reflects deeper currents of identity and allegiance, with both candidates wrestling with the implications of their positions amid a charged political landscape.
