Cori Bush's House seat victory is possibly the most exciting win by a progressive challenger in the two years since AOC broke the mold
Photo: Michael B. Thomas/Getty Images Cori Bush, a House candidate in Missouri, took down a powerful incumbent last night in a primary result that feels practically seismic. Not only will Bush, a Black Lives Matter activist, almost certainly be the first Black woman to represent Missouri in Congress, her victory also feels like a signal that things are fundamentally, profoundly changing for the Democratic Party.
Two years later, even with her bigger platform, buoyed by more wins by progressive challengers across the country, Bush’s candidacy was still considered an incredible long shot. Among big names on the left, she was endorsed only by Bernie Sanders; her opponent was endorsed by the likes of Planned Parenthood, Kamala Harris, and even the Congressional Progressive Caucus.
