The recent defeat of Cori Bush marks a significant moment in the shifting landscape of American politics. Bush, known for her outspoken progressive views and as a member of the "Squad," is the second of the group to face electoral defeat, following Jamal Bowman’s loss earlier this spring. This development highlights the increasing tension within the Democratic Party between its progressive and moderate factions.
Moderate Democrats are sounding the alarm, pointing out that Harris' choice not tap Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, known for his more centrist and pro-Israel stance, might mobilize the same electorate that played a pivotal role in Bush’s ousting. Shapiro, who has positioned himself as a strong advocate for Israel, represents a faction within the party that is increasingly concerned about the growing influence of progressives who have often been critical of Israel.
As Vice President Kamala Harris takes to the campaign trail with progressive Governor Tim Walz, who shares the Squad’s progressive stances, Bush’s defeat should serve as a cautionary tale. Despite his efforts to present himself as a moderate "social studies teacher next door," as voters examine his record as Governor, they will see the same far left priorities as the “Squad.” Harris and Walz’s alignment with progressive ideals may alienate moderate Democrats and independents, crucial voter blocs for securing a broader electoral victory.
