Pro-Israel lobby spent $84 million on elections in the USA. Nearly two-thirds went to the losers

AIPAC and its affiliates spent $55 million on unsuccessful campaigns, with $32 million aimed at defeating Abdul El-Sayed, a Democratic candidate who won in Michigan. AIPAC's effectiveness has dropped significantly, from 87% success in 2022 to just 34% in 2024. The organization's failures reflect a growing American discontent with Israel, linked to the Gaza conflict and U.S.-Israel relations. AIPAC announced it would stop officially endorsing candidates due to its declining image among Democratic voters, marking a shift from being a political asset to a liability. The Republican Party is now seeking accountability for its electoral losses, with some members attributing the defeats to ongoing conflicts.
