8:49Now PlayingAIPAC Will Choose the 2028 Democratic Nominee - And Democrats Are Letting It Happen
AIPAC's grip on the Democratic Party may reshape the 2028 presidential race in ways most voters never expected. Hawk lays out the argument that a foreign government's lobbying apparatus, through AIPAC and a web of rebranded PACs operating under names like "Women for Freedom," is quietly controlling which Democrats survive their primaries and which ones get crushed.
The cautionary tale centers on former New Jersey Congressman Tom Malinowski, a moderate Democrat who simply suggested that US military aid to Israel should come with conditions. AIPAC poured millions into defeating him, sending a clear warning to every Democrat running nationwide: fall in line or face the consequences. David Axelrod, appearing on Sarah Longwell's Bulwark podcast, flagged that AIPAC is funneling tens of millions into four contested Illinois congressional races, now hiding behind newly formed PAC names to avoid the toxic AIPAC brand that voters have increasingly rejected.
Gavin Newsom called Israel an apartheid state and was forced to walk it back almost immediately. The Democratic Party apparatus, from candidates to DNC insiders, remains locked down by Israeli lobbying interests even as the US finds itself three weeks into a war against Iran. Hawk argues that if Democrats cannot break free from AIPAC's influence before 2028, Republicans could nominate Tucker Carlson, an outspoken critic of Israel and AIPAC, and potentially win on that contrast alone.
