Cori Bush delivers farewell speech in nearly empty chamber after primary loss

Outgoing Democratic Rep. Cori Bush delivered her farewell speech in a nearly empty room after losing her primary to moderate Wesley Bell. She reflected on her accomplishments and expressed gratitude to her fellow members of "The Squad." Bush emphasized the impact of her group, stating, "Our Squad was never small and never silent." She highlighted the connections formed during her time in Congress and acknowledged the differences made by her colleagues. Her departure follows a scandal involving campaign funds and controversy over her stance on a resolution condemning Hamas. Bell, her primary opponent, gained support from various groups, contributing to her electoral loss.
