The “Squad” is feeling the impact of recent primary losses, especially Rep. Jamaal Bowman’s, attributed to a $15 million campaign by AIPAC due to his stance on Israel. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez criticized AIPAC’s influence, saying it disrupts Democratic unity and coalition-building, especially as Republican-funded groups target progressives. Bowman echoed her frustration, calling AIPAC’s actions an attack on his community. The Squad views these targeted efforts as a threat to progressive influence within the Democratic Party and future election outcomes.
