List of Democrats Voting Against Cut to Israel Aid as Base Turns on Ally

On Wednesday, dozens of House Democrats voted against an amendment proposed by Representative Thomas Massie (R-KY) to cut $3.3 billion in annual U.S. military assistance to Israel. The amendment, which aimed to eliminate funds from the fiscal 2027 State, Foreign Operations and Related Programs appropriations bill, failed with 104 yeas and 313 nays, including 98 Democrats voting against it. This vote highlighted growing divisions within the Democratic Party regarding U.S. support for Israel amid the ongoing conflict in Gaza, as recent polls indicate a significant shift in public opinion among Democratic voters against further aid.

Senator John Fetterman warned that the Democratic Party was "becoming more anti-Israel and hostile to people" who are pro-Israel.

Conversely, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, while calling the amendment "ill-conceived," voted yes "for the message that it sends," reflecting the internal party debate.
