前进步派众议院议员科里·布什正在密苏里州民主党初选中挑战现任众议员韦斯利·贝尔，这是布什在2024年初选中遭贝尔击败后的政治复出尝试[1]。
民主党选民对美国中东政策的态度已发生显著转变[1]。约58%的民主党人认为美国对以色列"过度支持"，这一比例相比2024年1月的45%有所上升[1]。在上一次初选中，贝尔获得了支持以色列的美国以色列公共事务委员会（AIPAC）的资助[1]。
密苏里州还面临选区划分调整[1]。修订后的选区图将堪萨斯城选区向东扩展至中部乡村地区，使新划分的第5选区具有共和党倾向[1]。
Cori Bush, a former progressive member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, is mounting a political comeback by challenging incumbent U.S. Representative Wesley Bell in Missouri's Democratic primary election taking place Tuesday[1]. Bush's bid marks her return to electoral politics two years after Bell defeated her in their previous matchup[1].
The rematch reflects shifting dynamics within the Democratic Party on Middle East policy. Bell's 2024 victory was bolstered by financial support from AIPAC, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, which backs pro-Israel candidates[1]. Since that election, Democratic voters' views on U.S. support for Israel have evolved significantly, with approximately 58 percent of Democrats now believing America is providing "excessive support" to Israel, up from 45 percent in January 2024[1].
