  "account": "The pro-Israel lobby, once influential in shaping US government policy, has faced a significant electoral defeat after spending over $55 million backing candidates who ultimately failed in the 2026 midterm elections. Originally known as the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), the organization has now rebranded itself as the United Democracy Project. A Quincy Institute analysis revealed that nearly two-thirds of AIPAC-linked political groups' spending, approximately $55.3 million, went towards unsuccessful campaigns. The groups, collectively, spent around $84.1 million in races decided during the election cycle. The political landscape shifted dramatically after Democrats gained control of both chambers of Congress in the November 3 elections, a major turning point in Washington. This electoral setback came after AIPAC-backed efforts to support pro-Israel candidates and defeat those critical of American support for Israel. Despite the losses, the organization claimed that over 234 candidates it supported across both parties won their respective contests. The election results represent a costly blow to AIPAC's campaign strategy, marking a significant political shift in US policy towards Israel.",
