Episode Details

Power, outside spending, and party loyalty collide in a St. Louis primary fight that could reshape the Democratic Party. In this condensed recap of Breaking Points, hosts Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti speak with Cori Bush about Nancy Pelosi’s trip to support Wesley Bell, the role of AIPAC-funded campaign spending, and the attacks Bush says have distorted her record on missed votes, COVID, and a funeral. Bush also raises questions about Bell’s background and the broader influence of super PAC ads, while explaining why voters are now more skeptical of political messaging after recent election cycles.
