AIPAC's Political Spending Surges to $31 Million in 2022, Reshaping U.S. Elections
Oct 24, 2024, 05:21 PM
An investigation by The Intercept reveals the significant influence of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) on U.S. elections through its financial contributions. The report, authored by Akela Lacy, details AIPAC's political spending, which has notably increased since the organization began directly funding candidates two years ago. The investigation tracks every dollar AIPAC has spent in the current election cycle, highlighting how this spending reshapes electoral outcomes and affects the balance of power in Congress. The report further notes a broader trend in foreign spending on sanctions-related lobbying, which has surged from approximately $6 million in 2014 to at least $31 million in 2022, indicating a growing financial influence in U.S. politics.
