"Pritzker stated he abandoned AIPAC more than a decade ago when it 'began to lean much more to the right and much more pro-Trump.' He noted that it was more bipartisan during his involvement."
"Pritzker's spokesperson emphasized that he 'withdrew his support' from AIPAC when it 'became a pro-Trump organization,' reflecting a significant shift in his political stance."
"Public surveys indicate that Democratic voters have soured on Israel in recent years, with a recent NBC poll showing that 57% view Israel negatively."
"AIPAC's super PAC spokesperson claimed the group is 'extremely bipartisan,' countering Pritzker's assertions about its political alignment."
Pritzker previously supported AIPAC and donated through the Pritzker Family Foundation, contributing significant amounts to pro-Israel organizations. He claims to have distanced himself from AIPAC over a decade ago due to its rightward shift and pro-Trump stance. Pritzker's criticism is primarily directed at Prime Minister Netanyahu rather than Israel itself. Recent polls show a decline in support for Israel among Democratic voters, with a significant percentage viewing Israel negatively amid ongoing conflicts.
