103 House Democrats Vote to Cut Israel Aid in Landmark Split, Dividing Party Leadership
Politico — Congress—More than 100 House Democrats backed a Thomas Massie amendment targeting $3.3 billion in State Department funding for Israel in what the New York Times called a 'seismic shift' in the party's stance toward the US-Israel alliance. The measure was ultimately defeated, but the near-even split exposed a sharp divide in the Democratic caucus: House Minority Leader Jeffries and Minority Whip Clark voted on opposite sides. Vice President Vance said Israel is 'losing the battle' for American public opinion, while a Times/Siena poll found 74 percent of Democratic voters oppose additional military aid to Israel.
