AIPAC announced it will stop endorsing candidates and making direct PAC contributions
AIPAC said it will no longer officially endorse political candidates or make direct contributions through its political action committee. The group said it will instead expand individual giving and use "new tools" to support candidates, while continuing political organizing and fundraising through its super PAC, United Democracy Project. The decision follows criticism of the group's endorsements and spending during the 2026 election cycle.
