From Fox News: Rep. Cori Bush, D-Mo., a member of the progressive cadre of lawmakers known as the “Squad,” thinks she will eventually run for political office again.

The outgoing congresswoman took office in 2021 and won re-election in 2022 but lost the Democratic primary in Missouri’s 1st Congressional District this year.

“Running for office again is not off the table at all. I did not expect to only be in Congress for four years, and so I do believe at some point I will run again, whether it’s for Congress or something else, I don’t know. I don’t have any plans right now, but it’s not off the table,” she said, according to Politico.

“The Squad will keep fighting,” she declared. “The numbers will be lower for the 119th Congress, but they will keep fighting for people who have the greatest need. They’re not going to change their priorities and what they believe. The number of people in Congress on the team will just be smaller. But they’ve never been silent. Anyone who underestimates our power is severely mistaken, because we aren’t going anywhere, and I will always be Squad. I’m not going far.”


In a recent interview, Bush complained about the amount of money that was spent defeating her.

Bush cheered when Joe Biden commuted the death sentences of 37 murderers on death row last week, leaving them only sentenced to life in prison without possibility of parole.

“Today’s action has saved lives,” she ironically declared.

In her “farewell” address to Congress on Dec. 12, Bush touted her efforts as an anti-police activist.
