The Mondoweiss Podcast 81. AIPAC is spending big to beat Cori Bush
Last month, pro-Israel centrist George Latimer beat Rep. Jamaal Bowman in the Democratic primary for New York’s 16th district.
The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) spent $15 million to help secure Latimer’s victory and now they have their sights set on Missouri’s 1st district, where Rep. Cori Bush is facing a primary challenge from prosecutor Wesley Bell.
Bush advocated for Palestinian rights on the campaign trail in 2020, and she’s been strong on the issue as a House member, making her a consistent target of Israel lobbying groups.
Mondoweiss's U.S. correspondent Michael Arria spoke to JVP Action Political Director Beth Miller on Bush’s record, Bell’s politics, and how much AIPAC is spending on the race.
