California Governor Gavin Newsom said Democrats are 'overwhelmingly opposed to the current regime in Israel,' criticizing Netanyahu and AIPAC while maintaining the Democratic Party remains unified in support of the Jewish state 'even if you don't think it's genocide' in Gaza. The comments reflect a broader intra-party debate over how forcefully Democrats should criticize Israeli policy. That debate played out concretely in New Hampshire's Democratic Senate primary, where centrist candidates Chris Pappas and Maggie Goodlander won decisive victories and Stefany Shaheen narrowly prevailed, after campaigns in which candidates sparred publicly over Netanyahu, Gaza policy and AIPAC's influence. The results suggest moderate candidates are still prevailing in contested primaries despite progressive pressure on Israel-related issues.
