With Summer Lee facing a primary challenge, Democratic divisions over Israel policy are expected to intensify in the upcoming election cycle. AIPAC, a pro-Israel group, has pledged to invest heavily in unseating progressive candidates, including members of the Squad like Jamaal Bowman, Cori Bush, Ilhan Omar, and Rashida Tlaib. Lee’s race will provide an early indication of the potential impact of these divisions on Democratic candidates in 2024.
The 2024 primary elections in Pennsylvania commenced smoothly on Tuesday as voters headed to the polls. Officials in various counties reported no significant issues, indicating a seamless voting process. Despite several candidates participating in various primary races, the races for President, U.S. Senate, and Republican Attorney General have essentially been decided for months. However, competitive contests remain for Pennsylvania Attorney General, Auditor General, and State Treasurer, with multiple candidates vying for their respective party’s nominations. The Harrisburg area is observing numerous primary races, including the race for the 10th Congressional District, the 15th District Senate seat, and the 103rd state House District seat.
