St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Wesley Bell, a Democrat, announced Wednesday he is a candidate for U.S. Senate, setting up what could be an expensive intraparty battle to take on Republican incumbent Josh Hawley in November 2024.

In a launch video released Wednesday morning, Bell said, “We need leaders who try to help — unlike Josh Hawley, who’s in a rush to be famous and pretending to be tough while showing the world how weak he really is.”

Bell, 48, would face Democrat Lucas Kunce, who hauled in $1.1 million in the first fundraising quarter this year, in next year’s August primary.

I couldn't find much info on bell outside of being a prosecutor. This won't change my vote for kunce, he has my favorite campaign video to date.

Love it. Hadn't seen that one. His previous campaign vids were always good. If Missourians had any damned sense they'd vote for him instead of whatever (R) they furiously check when they get into the voting booth.

So, putting aside their chances against fascism bro Hawley for a minute, who do we like better for the Dem ticket? Bell or Kunce?
