What happened

Sen. John Fetterman said he would leave the Democratic Party if it officially adopts a no-aid-to-Israel platform, though he said he has no current plans to switch parties. The warning followed the House’s 104-314 rejection of Rep. Thomas Massie’s amendment to eliminate $3.3 billion in U.S. security assistance for Israel. Massie was the only Republican in support, joined by 103 Democrats, as 98 Democrats and 215 Republicans opposed it. Nancy Pelosi supported the amendment, Hakeem Jeffries opposed it, and AIPAC suspended contributions to multiple House Democrats who voted for the cut.
