Democratic congressional candidate Rakhi Israni, running for Eric Swalwell's seat, has a history of donating to far-right Republican candidates, including Laura Loomer. Israni, who recently announced a significant fundraising haul, has personally contributed to MAGA candidates, anti-abortion figures, and groups aligned with Hindu nationalism. She stated these donations were not ideological endorsements. Her past political giving also includes support for the Hindu American PAC and opposition to caste discrimination legislation, drawing criticism from her primary opponents.
