Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) lost her primary election on Tuesday, making her the second “Squad” Democrat and third House incumbent to lose their seat this election cycle.

The Associated Press called the race for St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Wesley Bell at 11:04 p.m. Eastern time, over two hours after the polls closed. Bell won with 51% of the vote compared to Bush’s 45.8% at the time the race was called.

Bush is the second Squad member to be ousted after pro-Israel groups funneled millions into her race. AdImpact found that $17 million was poured into Missouri’s 1st Congressional District, with most of the funds going toward ads attacking Bush and supporting Bell. The attorney has seen $14.1 million in ad support, compared to the congresswoman seeing $3.6 million in ad support.

Bell was backed by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, the largest pro-Israel organization, and its PAC, the United Democracy Project. AdImpact found UDP spent $8 million in support of Bell.

Despite her fellow Squad members rallying behind her on Monday night and urging attendees to get out the vote, Bush will now be the third House incumbent overall not returning to the chamber next year. Reps. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) and Bob Good (R-VA) lost their primaries in June, with Good further losing a recount last week.

Both UDP and AIPAC released statements celebrating Bell’s win shortly after the Associated Press called the race.

Fantastic news to start the day after my vacation morning swim.

Now if the stupid, red-lipped bartender can be forgotten, that would just be awesome.
