Voted Against the 'Great American Outdoors Act' (Trump-era Policy)

While many Democrats supported it, Bush has been critical of various Trump-era environmental rollbacks and has consistently voted against GOP-led initiatives that she views as prioritizing corporate interests over environmental justice.

Notes: Bush's voting record shows near-zero alignment with Trump-endorsed legislation.

Agent rationale

Her legislative record shows a 0% 'Trump Support' score according to FiveThirtyEight's tracker during the period where their terms overlapped or policies were relevant.

Prominent Member of 'The Squad'

Cori Bush is a recognized member of 'The Squad', a group of progressive lawmakers known for their consistent and vocal opposition to Donald Trump's policies and the MAGA agenda.

Notes: The Squad includes AOC, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, and others.

Agent rationale

Membership in this informal caucus is synonymous with the furthest ideological pole from MAGA within the Democratic party.

Labelled Trump a 'Threat to Democracy'

In numerous official statements, Bush has characterized Donald Trump as a 'threat to democracy' and a 'white supremacist-in-chief', calling for his permanent disqualification from holding office.

Agent rationale

The use of 'threat to democracy' and 'white supremacist' are the specific linguistic markers of the anti-MAGA vanguard.

Arrested During Protest Against SCOTUS (Trump Appointees)

Bush was arrested in 2022 during a protest in front of the Supreme Court following the overturning of Roe v. Wade, a judicial outcome she attributed to the 'extremist' Trump-appointed justices.

Agent rationale

Direct action against the primary judicial legacy of the MAGA movement (the conservative supermajority on the Supreme Court) is a high-signal anti-MAGA act.

Called for the Abolition of the Electoral College

Bush has repeatedly called for the abolition of the Electoral College, arguing it is an undemocratic relic that enables minority rule, specifically citing the 2016 election of Donald Trump.

Agent rationale

Seeking to dismantle the mechanism that enabled the 2016 MAGA victory is a structural opposition to the movement's path to power.

Advocated for 'Defunding the Police'

Bush has been a leading voice in the 'Defund the Police' movement, a policy position that Donald Trump and the MAGA movement have used as a primary rhetorical foil to define their 'Law and Order' platform.

Agent rationale

Her advocacy for a policy that is the direct antithesis of the MAGA 'Law and Order' narrative creates a sharp ideological divide.

Voted to Impeach Donald Trump for Incitement of Insurrection

Bush voted in favor of the second impeachment of Donald Trump following the January 6th Capitol attack, stating that 'the 45th president of the United States is a white supremacist' during her floor speech.

Agent rationale

Voting for impeachment is a definitive anti-MAGA action. Her rhetoric explicitly linking the movement's leader to white supremacy further solidifies the oppositional stance.

Rep. Cori Bush introduced H.Res.25, which sought to investigate and expel members of Congress who supported efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election results, characterizing their actions as a violation of the 14th Amendment.

Notes: This was one of her first major legislative actions upon taking office.

Agent rationale

Directly targeting the core political maneuver of the MAGA movement (election contestation) with the highest possible legislative penalty (expulsion) is a maximum-strength anti-MAGA signal.
