Democratic congresswoman and "Squad" member Cori Bush has lost her primary race in Missouri, according to US media projections. Wesley Bell, a St Louis prosecutor, will instead be the party's candidate in the state's first congressional district this November. Ms Bush, a nurse, came to prominence as an organiser in the Black Lives Matter movement and, after taking office in 2021, as one of the Democratic members of the "Squad", who are known to support progressive causes.
