WATCH: AOC Reacts Strongly After Fellow “Squad” Member Loses Race

The “Squad” is feeling the effects of recent primary defeats, particularly Rep. Jamaal Bowman’s, which many attribute to a $15 million campaign by AIPAC in response to his position on Israel. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez criticized AIPAC’s influence, arguing that it undermines Democratic unity and coalition-building, especially as GOP-backed groups go after progressive members. Bowman shared her concerns, describing AIPAC’s actions as harmful to his community. The Squad sees these targeted campaigns as a challenge to progressive power within the Democratic Party and a potential threat to future election outcomes.
