Wesley Bell, who’s challenging Cori Bush in Missouri, dropped out of a race against Republican Josh Hawley to take on the Democratic congresswoman. Apparently, punching left with AIPAC’s support is a more appealing career booster than challenging the Right.
As Republicans find it harder and harder to win on the “merits” of their platform, they’ll look to co-opt Left messaging or even labels to win. Sort of the political office equivalent of conservative guys who claim they’re not, on Tinder.
