A House vote to strip US funding from Israel failed but drew 104 yes votes — a big jump from just 37 two years ago, showing how fast Democratic voters are turning against Israel aid.

• The amendment to cut $3.3 billion in yearly military aid to Israel lost 314 to 104, but the near-tripling of support since 2023 marks a real shift.
• Progressive primary wins in New York, Colorado, and elsewhere pushed nervous Democrats to vote against Israel, even ones who admitted they hated doing it.
• Even Nancy Pelosi, long a fierce Israel backer, voted to cut the funding — a sign of how much the party base has moved.
• Republicans let the vote happen to stir Democratic infighting, but it may backfire by branding the GOP as the party that puts Israel first.
• Pro-Israel money still dominates: groups spent tens of millions to defeat critics like Cory Bush, Jamal Bowman, and Tom Massie.

Outlook: Support for cutting Israel aid is growing fast among Democrats, and more primary fights over the issue are coming — including Cory Bush's rematch against Wesley Bell in August.
