Senate Candidate Returns AIPAC Money As Pro-Israel Group Becomes Political Poison

AIPAC has long been regarded as one of the most powerful lobbying groups in US politics. Historically, politicians from both parties have been eager to accept AIPAC money - and quick to accept AIPAC's voting instructions. Similarly, they've been fearful of incurring the group's wrath, which could quickly turn into a potent primary challenge. In 2024, AIPAC and allied pro-Israel groups spent enormous sums in successful efforts to oust New York Dem. Rep. Jamaal Bowman and Missouri Dem. Rep. Cori Bush. AIPAC's $15 million spent against Bowman helped make that race the most expensive House primary in US history.

 

However, in a political earthquake emanating from Israel's staggering destruction of Gaza with US-supplied weapons, AIPAC now finds its position in American politics wobbling like never before, as citizens across the political spectrum demonstrate growing unease with Israel's influence over politicians and policy. Increasingly, both Republicans and Democrats find themselves under fire for accepting AIPAC money. In an August town hall, Massachusetts GOP Rep. Jake Auchincloss was repeatedly grilled for just that:

In the most comical display of discomfort over the AIPAC question, California Gov. Gavin Newsom positively malfunctioned this week when asked about AIPAC's role in US politics, calling the topic "interesting" 8 times in 30 seconds, and disingenuously claiming "I haven't thought much about AIPAC" โ€“ a preposterous claim for a likely 2028 presidential candidate.
