Rep. Cori Bush, D-Missouri, a member of the progressive caucus known as the Squad, believes she will eventually run for political office again.
The outgoing congressman took office in 2021 and was up for re-election in 2022, but lost this year's Democratic primary for Missouri's 1st Congressional District.
“It's not at all inconceivable to run for re-election. I never expected to be in Congress for only four years. So whether it's for Congress or something else, at some point I believe I will run again, but I'm not. I don't have any plans right now, but it's not off the table,” she said. Politico.
“The troops will continue to fight,” she declared. “Those numbers will be fewer in the 119th Congress, but they will continue to fight for those who need it most. They are not going to change their priorities or beliefs. It's just going to increase.'' But they're never silent. Anyone who underestimates our power is a big mistake, because we are not going anywhere, and I will always be a squad. ”
