"House Democratic Leaders Rally Behind Summer Lee for Reelection"

House Democratic leaders, including Hakeem Jeffries, have endorsed Rep. Summer Lee, D-Pa., despite attacks from pro-Israel lobbying groups like AIPAC. This marks a departure from the usual alignment with AIPAC, as the organization has sought to recruit challengers for progressive incumbents. AIPAC's efforts to unseat Lee and other progressive lawmakers critical of Israel have drawn criticism, and the endorsements signal a show of support for progressive Democrats facing attacks from conservative factions within the party.
