WHAT HAPPENED
U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders urged Democratic leaders to ban AIPAC spending in primary elections, labeling the pro‑Israel lobby’s recent efforts as ‘corrupt’. According to The Times of Israel, Sanders made the call after AIPAC considered funding a Republican candidate for the Michigan Senate seat following its failure to influence the Democratic primary of Abdul El‑Sayed.
The Times of Israel notes that AIPAC had explored backing a Republican nominee for the Michigan Senate seat after its earlier attempts to sway Abdul El‑Sayed’s race did not succeed. Sanders, a prominent Jewish progressive, criticized this strategy as corrupt and called for a prohibition on such spending in Democratic primaries. The article did not provide specific financial figures or details on the proposed expenditures.
The call comes amid increasing scrutiny of foreign‑aligned lobbying groups that operate within U.S. elections, particularly those with strong ties to Israel such as AIPAC.
