AIPAC spends more than $100 million on 2024 elections to oust critics of Israel from Congress

The American Israel Public Affairs Committee spends more than $100 million on the 2024 election cycle, making it the single largest single-issue interest group spender. AIPAC's super PAC, United Democracy Project, endorses 361 pro-Israel candidates who prevail in hundreds of races. The spending targets progressive Democrats critical of Israel, helping defeat Jamaal Bowman and Cori Bush in Democratic primaries. The organization shifts from its traditional bipartisan lobbying model to direct electoral intervention, funding candidates who support unconditional military aid to Israel amid the Gaza war.
