Rep. Summer Lee, a Democrat who has been critical of Israel’s military actions in Gaza, prevailed in Tuesday’s Pennsylvania primary ... Show more #CeasefireNOW www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/04/23/pennsylvania-primary-election-summer-lee-win/
Quick Glance: Summer Lee Secures Key Victory in Pennsylvania Primary
- Pennsylvania congresswoman Summer Lee successfully navigated a primary challenge on Tuesday, securing progressives one of their most crucial wins of this election cycle while preparing for an influx of pro-Israel funding targeting candidates supportive of a ceasefire.
- During the primaries, Lee emerged victorious against local council member Bhavini Patel, who had raised concerns about the stance of the progressive “Squad” member on the Gaza ceasefire.
- The resonance of this argument was evident among many of Lee’s supporters and local Democratic figures. The Allegheny County Democratic party formally endorsed Lee in February, marking their support for her for the first time after having backed her opponent in the 2022 primaries.
- Despite the pro-Israel lobby staying out of the picture, a Super Pac intervened in Lee’s primary to bolster Patel’s campaign. The Moderate Pac, with a mission to back centrist Democrats and significant funding from Republican megadonor Jeffrey Yass, allocated over $600,000 to support Patel.
