AIPAC halts fundraising for endorsed House Democrats who opposed Israel aid
AIPAC stopped fundraising for more than two dozen Democrats after they backed a failed amendment to cut $3.3 billion in aid to Israel.
- On Friday, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee suspended fundraising for more than two dozen House Democrats who backed an amendment to slash $3.3 billion in military aid to Israel, removing donation links from its online portal.
- Rep. Thomas Massie introduced the measure to the fiscal 2027 State Department funding bill, which was defeated Wednesday by a 104-314-10 vote despite support from more than 100 Democrats.
- Affected members include House Minority Whip Katherine Clark and former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who received roughly $1.4 million and more than $19,000 respectively in AIPAC-related contributions according to Federal Election Commission records.

- Legislative records show 104 Democrats voted to cut aid this week, reflecting a broader realignment within the Democratic Party regarding unconditional support for Israel amid the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
