AIPAC halts candidate endorsements and direct PAC donations
The American Israel Public Affairs Committee’s political action committee will no longer endorse candidates or make direct PAC contributions, shifting its focus to its super PAC.
After three election cycles of giving, AIPAC’s PAC has decided to stop endorsing political candidates and providing direct contributions. The organization will continue political organizing and fundraising through its super PAC, United Democracy Project. This change follows a year of controversy surrounding AIPAC’s endorsements and donations, which have become flashpoints in campaigns.
Why it matters
AIPAC’s new strategy could reshape how pro-Israel lobbying influences U.S. elections.
