AIPAC has a new target to exert influence over Democrats

The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) has spent nearly $2.5 million in a California congressional race to support Melissa Hernandez over her opponent, Aisha Wahab, signaling a strong push to influence Democratic politics. This move underscores AIPAC's strategic focus on reshaping the Democratic Party's stance on Israel-related issues, which could have broader implications for U.S. foreign policy and domestic politics. As the race unfolds, it highlights the increasing role of super PACs in determining electoral outcomes and the potential sway of foreign policy advocacy groups over legislative priorities.
