Progressive Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.), a Squad member running a tight race for re-election in Missouri, is backing Vice President Harris to be the Democratic presidential nominee.
Bush was among the earliest left-wing voices in the House to embrace Harris as the Democratic presidential nominee after President Biden announced that he was suspending his campaign on Sunday.
She is competing to hold on to her seat in the state’s first congressional district against moderate Democratic challenger Wesley Bell, who is St. Louis County’s prosecuting attorney.
“In 2020, voters turned out to deliver Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to the White House. The people’s vote was a vote not only for President Biden, but a vote for Vice President Kamala Harris and her ability to defeat MAGA extremism across the country,” Bush wrote in a statement.
