100 House Democrats vote to cut off aid to Israel, showcasing party shift

House Democrats split nearly evenly on a Wednesday amendment to cut off U.S. aid to Israel, showcasing how the contentious issue is reshaping the political dynamics in the party.

The amendment spearheaded by Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) was presumed to be a doomed show vote, but it provided a test for Democrats who have been increasingly under pressure from the activist base over Israel.

The amendment failed 104-314-10, with 103 Democrats voting in favor, 98 Democrats voting against, and 10 voting present. Massie was the only Republican who supported the amendment.
