The Israeli lobby spent millions, but with poor results. Data after the midterm elections

AIPAC and its affiliates spent approximately $55 million on unsuccessful campaigns, with $32 million targeting Democrat Abdul El-Sayed, who won in Michigan. This year's election saw only 34% of AIPAC's spending support winning candidates, a significant drop from previous years. The failures may reflect growing criticism of Israel among American voters, influenced by the Gaza conflict and rising living costs. Vice President J.D. Vance noted that the U.S.-Israel relationship impacted Republican losses. AIPAC announced it would no longer formally endorse candidates due to Israel's declining image among Democrats, shifting from a political asset to a liability.
