Another pro-Israel Democrat PAC backs Squad primary challengers

Driving the news: DMFI PAC announced Wednesday it is endorsing St. Louis, Mo. prosecutor Wesley Bell and Westchester County, N.Y. Executive George Latimer.

• Bell and Latimer are challenging Reps. Cori Bush (D-Mo.) and Jamaal Bowman (D-N.Y.), respectively.
• DMFI PAC Chairman Mark Mellman said Bush has a "longstanding enmity towards Israel" and that Bowman has a "troubling track record" on the issue.
• "We look forward to helping Mr. Latimer," Mellman said, adding, "We're going to do everything we can to help Wesley Bell[.]"

State of play: DMFI PAC joins the Jewish Democratic Council of America, a group more closely aligned with the Democratic party, which endorsed Bell and Latimer last week.

• It was the first time the group, known as the Jewish Dems, endorsed against incumbent Democrats.
• The endorsements underscore how Bush and Bowman are seen as uniquely vulnerable due to their respective legal issues.
• By contrast, major Jewish and pro-Israel groups have not yet thrown their full weight behind challengers to Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) and Summer Lee (D-Pa.).
