Cori Bush, a racial justice activist who was once homeless, has ousted a 10-term political veteran in Missouri’s Democratic primary election. She defeated Congressman William Lacy Clay 49% – 46%. Either Mr Clay or his father, a civil rights activist, has held the seat since the 1960s. An ordained minister and former nurse, Ms Bush would be the first black woman to represent Missouri in Congress. Her win is the latest upset against establishment Democrats by newcomers. She had campaigned for Senator Bernie Sanders during his presidential run. Praising her on Twitter, Mr Sanders said Ms Bush would “take on the corporate elite of this country when she gets to Congress”.  Ms Bush, 44, had lost to Mr Clay, 64, during the 2018 primary in Missouri. Mr Clay is a long-time lawmaker who has represented the St Louis area for two decades. His father is a co-founder of the Congressional Black Caucus.(BBC)…[+]
