Cori Bush was elected by a landslide to the United States Congress from Missouri's 1st Congressional District.
Under attack for her support for the Palestinian-led global Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement during her campaign, in August 2020, Cori Bush's campaign reiterated her support for BDS, writing:
Cori Bush has always been sympathetic to the BDS movement, and she stands in solidarity with the Palestinian people, just as they have stood in solidarity with Black Americans fighting for their own lives.
