    With such a large amount of money to burn, “most” candidates won’t be able to withstand the negative campaigning, meaning AIPAC “can be quite successful in wiping them out,” former Rep. Andy Levin (D-Mich.) told Politico.

    AIPAC has much more funding this election because of Israel’s assault on Gaza, a reaction to the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas that killed approximately 1,200 Israelis.

    AIPAC’s super PAC, United Democracy Project, is monitoring between 15 and 20 House races, a person directly familiar with UDP’s strategy informed Politico.

    AIPAC is likely looking to oust members of “The Squad,” progressive House Democrats including Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.

    Min, a Democrat, has not even called for a permanent ceasefire, but he has criticized new Israeli settlements in the West Bank and disparaged Netanyahu for lapses in security ahead of the Oct. 7 attack.

    AIPAC has used the DUI against Min, sending mailers and running TV ads capitalizing on what he has acknowledged was the worst mistake of his career.
