Show Notes
AIPAC, a pro-Israel group, is heavily investing in Illinois Democratic primaries, backing Chicago city treasurer Melissa Conyears-Ervin with $1.9 million. Despite a recent setback in New Jersey, AIPAC plans to engage in dozens of races this cycle. Progressives in Illinois are critical, with one selling anti-AIPAC merchandise. AIPACs spending has increased since the 2022 midterms, focusing on Democratic primaries and often supporting centrists over progressives critical of Israel aid. Amid Gaza tensions and concerns over dark money, critics call for rule changes, but AIPAC continues its spending, avoiding Israel mentions in ads.
