AIPAC, a powerful pro-Israel lobbying group, is altering its approach to influence the upcoming midterms. While it has stopped officially endorsing or directly contributing to candidates, AIPAC continues to spend heavily on elections through its super PAC, United Democracy Project (UDP). A new report by The Intercept reveals that AIPAC's strategy involves funding other groups and using a series of "pop-up PACs" to conceal its involvement in various races.
Despite the shift in tactics, AIPAC's influence remains strong, with its candidates still winning a majority of the races it supported. The group's super PAC spent more than $100 million on this cycle's midterms, largely targeting pro-Israel candidates.
