The “Squad” is feeling the impact of recent primary losses, especially Rep. Jamaal Bowman’s, which many link to a $15 million campaign by AIPAC due to his stance on Israel. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez voiced her frustration, stating that AIPAC’s influence disrupts Democratic unity and hinders coalition efforts, particularly as GOP-supported groups focus on progressive candidates. Bowman echoed these concerns, calling AIPAC’s actions damaging to his community. The Squad views these targeted campaigns as an attempt to weaken progressive influence within the Democratic Party, posing a potential threat to future elections.
