AIPAC's Super PAC Amasses $40 Million for 2024 Primaries

The United Democracy Project, linked to AIPAC, gears up to challenge progressive 'Squad' members with a significant war chest, following a record fundraising effort.

• The United Democracy Project, AIPAC's super PAC, raised $35 million in the latter half of 2023, ending the year with nearly $41 million in cash.
• Significant contributions came from Republican megadonors, including WhatsApp co-founder Jan Koum and Home Depot co-founder Bernie Marcus.
• AIPAC aims to unseat progressive 'Squad' members critical of Israel, with Reps. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib among its primary targets.
• Progressive groups and incumbents, like Justice Democrats and Rep. Summer Lee, prepare to counter AIPAC's influence with their own fundraising efforts.
• The fundraising surge follows the Oct. 7 attack and is part of AIPAC's broader strategy to support pro-Israel candidates in the 2024 primaries.
