Incumbent Representative Wesley Bell has secured victory over Cori Bush in a competitive Democratic primary contest for Missouri's 1st Congressional District. This represents the second consecutive electoral matchup between the two Democrats, with Bell successfully defending his position against an attempt by Bush to regain the seat.

Bush's comeback effort took place within a solidly Democratic district where she had previously served. Her loss to Bell marks the continuation of his tenure after initially defeating her in the 2024 cycle by a narrow margin. The outcome confirms Bell's standing among primary voters in the district.
