Bernie Sanders urges Democratic Party to ban AIPAC and super PACs from primaries, pass amendment
Sanders believes that even candidates who support super PAC reforms will continue accepting money from super PACs for use in elections so long as there is benefit to be gained from the arrangement.
Bernie Sanders has urged the Democratic Party to take immediate action against super PACs and their influence in primary elections. In a letter addressed to key Democratic leaders, the Vermont Senator called for an end to the use of super PACs, such as AIPAC, in primary elections. Sanders argues that these super PACs are corrupting political fundraising and enabling special interests to sway elections, ultimately harm Democratic candidates.
He pleads with Congress to pass a constitutional amendment to repeal the 2010 Citizens United ruling, which led to the creation of super PACs. Sanders also urges the Democratic Party to ban super PACs from primary elections, emphasizing that it is within their power to address this issue.
