‘Defund the police’ advocate Cori Bush has become the second ‘Squad’ member to be ousted from Congress.

Bush lost her primary election on Tuesday to prosecutor Wesley Bell, with her only serving since 2020.

The 48-year-old is now the second member of the far-left Democratic group the ‘Squad’ to lose their seat in Congress.

Earlier this year, Jamaal Bowman lost his primary challenge to George Latimer.

The polling numbers ended with Bell at 51.2 per cent and Bush at 45.6 per cent.
