What @CoriBush & @AOC don’t mention is Bowman was trailing Latimer by 17 pts before AIPAC ran one ad. Harris vastly outspent Trump and lost. There is a problem of money in politics, but blaming The Squad’s failure on AIPAC is scapegoating.

Musk didn't buy the presidency. Billionaires donated to both candidates. Indeed, Harris raised 2X of what Trump raised. And through 11/4, super PACs spent $668M for Harris vs $194M for Trump. There's a problem with money in politics but it's bipartisan.
