When he launched his campaign last week for a Massachusetts U.S. Senate seat, Representative Seth Moulton made sure that one of his first moves was to announce that he is returning campaign donations that he received from individuals affiliated with the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, and would no longer accept campaign support from the group. Also last week, popular podcast hosts Jennifer Welch and Angie Sullivan pressed Senator Cory Booker to answer whether he considered Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a war criminal; The Ringer’s Van Lathan told Governor Gavin Newsom that Lathan would not support a 2028 candidate who took money from AIPAC, resulting in the governor literally squirming and using the word “interesting” repeatedly; radio host Charlamagne tha God asked Governor Josh Shapiro if AIPAC donations improperly influence U.S. decisions on Israeli-Palestinian issues; and MSNBC’s Eugene Daniels asked Kamala Harris if Israel’s actions over the last two years constitute genocide.
I wonder if there’s just a ticker in the DNC headquarters with public approval on stances.
Isreals genocide is still 50.2% favorability with the general public, we still support them.
50% on the dot.
Then again, I guess they’d need 2 tickers.
Every 5 million from AIPAC is an added 1% buffer for isreal, as long as they stay above 35% we still need to back them.
Holy shit they hit 32%, alright it’s actually hurting more than the money helps.
Is that everyone, including Republicans (read: people who won’t vote for them either way)?
They pay attention to other voters?
If anything it seems like that’s where they put 99.9% of their focus. It wasn’t Bernie Sanders that Harris went touring with for her late run push… It was Liz Cheny.
Some would say too much
