"Progressive Coalition Counters Pro-Israel Influence in Democratic Primaries"
The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) has been heavily involved in Democratic primaries and plans to spend at least $100 million on 2024 races, prompting progressives to form the Reject AIPAC coalition to counter its influence. AIPAC's new super PAC, funded by Republican billionaires, has reshaped key primaries and shifted the balance of power in Congress. The coalition aims to organize against AIPAC across electoral, political, and digital arenas, and plans to defend members of Congress being targeted by AIPAC through a seven-figure electoral spending campaign. AIPAC's growing influence on Democratic Party politics has presented a major problem for progressives, who rely mostly on small-dollar donors and can't compete with AIPAC's war chest.
