The race for Bush was called by the Associated Press. A majority of the vote was counted.

According to FiveThirtyEight, the Democrats are expected to win the 1st District by a large margin.
Bush narrowly won the Democratic primary in 2020 to become the first Bush to serve in congress. The 1st District had been represented by Clay and his father. Bush is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, and after being sworn in to Congress immediately aligned herself with the "Squad," a small group of Democratic representatives who are considered to be the most far- left members of the House. She supports progressive policies like Medicare for All, the cancelation of student debt and a national minimum wage. Roberts said he wanted to be a normal Democrat who supported the agenda of President Joe Biden.
At one point, Bush's office in the Longworth House Office Building was located in a different location. Bush lied about what happened.
Since the group formed after the election, no one has lost a race. Several lawmakers are associated with the group.
Marjorie Taylor was accused of berating a democrat.
