US midterm election update: Senate races to watch. Senate races have been a bloody battleground this cycle, especially in Michigan. We have 6 new anti-AIPAC Democratic senators up for election on November 3rd: Abdul El-Sayed, MI.
Peggy Flanagan, MN.
Troy Jackson, me.
Angie Nixon, Florida.
James Talarico, Texas.
Charles Booker, KY We have a total of 4 currently sitting Democratic Senators who have taken zero dollars from the pro-Israel lobby: Chris Van Hollen, MD.
Jeff Markley, OR.
Bernie Sanders, VT.
Peter Walsh, VT 4 + 6 = 10, if we're lucky. Currently, Talarico is a hedge mover on Israel. Peggy Flanagan also kept a very low profile. I'm not sure these numbers will hold if these people are successfully elected. What I can say for sure is that the rest of the Senate Democrats are buying and paying. The pro-Israel lobby gave money to 43 of the 47 senators in the Democratic Committee. The brutal reality here is that even if every single anti-AIPAC Senate candidate wins on Tuesday, the pro-Israel lobby will still hold a majority in both houses of the US government. In the link below is a complete list of every sitting Democratic Senator and Republican Senator along with their payments from the pro-Israel lobby.
