Media: Democrats in the United States are distancing themselves from Netanyahu, but worry it's too late
America's Cable News Network (CNN) quoted sources saying that Democratic members of the US Congress, even those known for their pro-Israel stance, are distancing themselves from Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu ahead of the upcoming midterm elections, but they are worried it is already too late.
In November 2026, the United States will hold a full House of Representatives midterm election, while the Senate election involves 35 out of approximately 100 seats. After suffering a major defeat in last year's election, Democrats are expected to regain control of Congress, when Republicans won.
According to a survey conducted by CNN last month, the proportion of Americans who believe Israel's military actions are justified has dropped from 50% after the attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, to 23%. Meanwhile, the percentage of Democrats who believe the US provides too much military aid to Israel has risen from 44% in March to 59% in July.
