From Fox News: Rep. Cori Bush, D-Mo., is getting a boost from her allies in the House’s left-wing “Squad” on Monday, as her anti-Israel comments have her fighting for her political life in this week’s primary elections.

“We have just ONE DAY ahead of us before primary Election Day. Come join Cori & some very special guests on Election Day eve to rally together and get out the vote!” Bush’s campaign wrote on Instagram announcing the event.

It’s a virtual rally to be held on Zoom at 5 p.m. Eastern Time alongside Reps. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y., and Summer Lee, D-Pa.

The two-term progressive Democrat is one of Congress’ harshest critics of Israel and its operation in Gaza. She has accused Israel’s government of waging a genocide on Palestinians and consistently voted against emergency funding for the Middle Eastern ally.

Bush is being challenged for her seat by fellow Democrat Wesley Bell, who has been endorsed by the American Israeli Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), a bipartisan pro-Israel lobbying group.

Bush posted an announcement about the Zoom fundraiser event on her X/Twitter page Sunday night:

Fellow ‘squad’ member Rep. Ayanna Pressley pushed out a call to re-elect Bush:

Progressive Democrat Sen. Ed Markey (Mass.) is also trying to prop up Bush’s re-election campaign.

“Two years ago, @CoriBush and I got our environmental justice mapping program passed in the Inflation Reduction Act. And our works far from done. We need to send my partner in climate justice back to Congress,” Markey wrote on social media.
