"Progressive Challengers Face Funding Hurdles in Congressional Races"
Pro-Israel lobbying groups, particularly Aipac, are expected to spend heavily to unseat progressive Democratic representatives in the 2024 congressional primaries, with candidates like Jamaal Bowman and Cori Bush facing formidable challenges from well-funded opponents. The influence of pro-Israel money is evident in campaign finance reports, with Aipac earmarking significant contributions to certain challengers. Meanwhile, progressive incumbents Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib have raised substantial funds, indicating strong support for their criticism of the Israeli government's policies.
