How did AIPAC-backed candidates fare in the US midterm elections?

James Talarico won Texas’s Senate seat on November 3 by more than 12 percentage points after publicly rejecting AIPAC funding and condemning the situation in Gaza. Pro-Israel groups allied with AIPAC gave about $6,000 to his opponent, Ken Paxton. Nationwide, AIPAC and affiliated political spending groups put tens of millions of dollars into races, but nearly two-thirds of their spending went to candidates who lost. Strategist Rina Shah said AIPAC support is facing greater scrutiny, including among Republicans, amid questions about foreign entanglements and voters’ views on Gaza.
