Cori Bush Loses Her Primary
|
[PUBLISH.TWITTER]
 [PJMedia] BIG BREAKING NEWS: Our friends at Decision Desk HQ have declared Wesley Bell the winner of the Democrat primary in Missouri's 1st District, which means that Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.) has lost!
The Squad is now a little less Squaddy. And that's a good thing.
Original Article:
All right, y'all, it's Tuesday night, and you know what that means. Primary time! This week, we have contests in four states: Kansas, Michigan, Missouri, and Washington.
I was secretly hoping that Kansas would have a lot of races to write about because I wanted to pepper them with references to Kansas the band in honor of my friend Kerry Livgren, one of the founding members. Kansas only has House and Senate races today, along with state legislative primaries, so it's probably for the best that I don't carry on past the point of know return.
Kansas has four congressional districts. Only in the 2nd District is there a Democrat primary; the other districts have Democrats running unopposed. On the GOP side, the 2nd District features a crowded field. I can't say who will win; after all, if I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know.
In Michigan, the Senate race includes heavy favorites in each party. Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.) should walk away with the Democratic nomination, while Mike Rogers should handily win the GOP contest.
One of the most fascinating House races will be the 8th District, where a wide open field is attempting to fill the seat that Rep. Dan Kildee (D-Mich.) is vacating. The GOP is looking to flip the seat, while a tight race of Democrats will fight to keep the seat blue.
Missouri gives us a chance to knock off a member of the Squad; in the 1st District, Wesley Bell may end Rep. Cori Bush's (D-Mo.) career, which would be schadenfreudelicious. The state has several statewide races going on today as well.
Both parties' races for governor feature crowded fields with only two or three real contenders on either side. In the Senate primary, Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) runs unopposed, while a slew of Democrats are vying to unseat him. Progressive Lucas Kunce is the heavy favorite to win the Democratic primary.
Here's what's most interesting about Washington's primaries: the state does jungle primaries where the top two advance to the general election regardless of party affiliation. You can imagine how this will look in districts that favor one party heavily. In addition to House and Senate contests, Washington has several statewide races taking place today.
Polls close in Missouri at 8 p.m. Eastern. In Kansas and Michigan, most polls will close at 8 p.m. Eastern, although some close at 9 p.m. In Washington, polls close at 11 p.m. Eastern, but many of the votes will arrive by mail, which means that totals will be slower to come in.
Once again, our partners at Decision Desk HQ have provided us with the most up-to-date results, which you'll see below. Stay tuned here at PJ Media for continued coverage and analysis of the 2024 election cycle.
