Black Lives Matter organizer Cori Bush defeated Rep. William Lacy Clay in Missouri’s Democratic primary Tuesday night,  halting a St. Louis political dynasty.

Jason Rosenbaum, a political correspondent for St. Louis Public Radio, called Bush’s victory “one of the most significant  moments in the history of St. Louis politics. It is enormous.”

Clay has served in the House of Representatives since 2001, succeeding his father, who had held the seat since 1969. Bush, 44, had challenged Clay, 64, in 2018 but lost by 20 points.
