September 2026 um 21:22 UTCAnsehenTranskript0:00A historic fracture inside the0:01Democratic Party over Israel. Nearly0:04half of all House Democrats just voted0:06to cut off military aid to Israel,0:08splitting the party's leadership and0:10prompting one sitting senator to say0:11he'd walk away. Here's what happened and0:14what it means. The amendment from0:15Republican Thomas Massie drew 1030:18Democratic votes, 47% of the caucus. It0:21failed overall, but the number stunned0:23party leaders. A decade ago, a vote like0:25this would have been unthinkable. Look0:27at the leadership breakdown. Hakee Jeff0:29voted no alongside Stenny Hoyer, but0:31whip Katherine Clark and former speaker0:33Nancy Pelosi broke the other way, voting0:36to cut aid. It's not just the rank and0:38file that's divided. The top of the0:40party is split right down the middle.0:42Then there's Senator John Federman. The0:44Pennsylvania Democrat did not hold back.0:46Federman called the House vote a red0:48line and suggested he may leave the0:50Democratic party if the anti-aid0:52position takes hold. It is a stunning0:55warning from a sitting senator. A0:56Washington Post poll shows where the0:58party's base stands. 40% of Democrats1:01want to end military aid to Israel1:02entirely. Another 34% want to reduce it.1:06Combined, that is nearly three in four1:08Democratic voters favoring some form of1:10cut. A number that helps explain why 1031:12House members took the risk. The vote is1:14over, but the fracture is not. With1:16presidential primaries on the horizon1:18and the party's foreign policy identity1:20in flux, this is a divide that is only1:23just beginning to shape the 20281:25election.Artikel lesenChronologie der GeschichteHeyDexDas Kurzvideo ↗
