The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), which this year helped push a member of the left-wing House faction known as the “Squad” out of office, is now trying to hasten the exit of another.

On Aug. 6, primary voters in Missouri’s 1st Congressional District will decide if Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.) should receive the Democratic Party’s nomination to represent north St. Louis in Washington for a third year.
