AIPAC has spent more than $221m in Democratic primaries since the 2022 midterms, and over $22m in Illinois alone last month, funneled partly through shell groups with names such as "Elect Chicago Women" whose ties to the pro-Israel lobby were only confirmed after votes had been cast. Florida Democrat Allison Minnerly, who sponsored the resolution condemning AIPAC's unethical interference, said the party's base was owed more than procedural deflection: "Democrats overwhelmingly want a party that stands for human rights and against increased conflict in the Middle East."
