(AP) — U.S. Rep. Wesley Bell won Tuesday’s rematch in the Missouri Democratic primary against former Rep. Cori Bush, an outspoken activist who had been part of a progressive group of House members known as the Squad.
Meanwhile, Missouri voters defeated a pair of unique ballot measures backed by the Republican-led Legislature.
The other would have directed lawmakers to repeal the state’s individual income tax while authorizing a state sales tax expansion.
St. Louis primary delivers second win for BellBell’s primary victory is likely to propel him to reelection in November in the heavily Democratic St. Louis district.
Bush, a protest leader, defeated longtime Rep. William Lacy Clay in the 2020 Democratic primary.
