The Democratic primary for the Michigan Senate race has seen a heated confrontation between progressive candidate Abdul El-Sayed—who is of Arab descent—and his rival, Haley Stevens.
The conflict centers on the infusion of record-breaking sums—exceeding $60 million—by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) and allied political action committees (PACs) to support Stevens and defeat El-Sayed, a prominent critic of Israeli policies. Conversely, El-Sayed’s camp views this massive spending by "dark money" networks as an attempt to buy votes and steer U.S. political decision-making, noting that an El-Sayed victory would deal a crushing blow to AIPAC’s influence within the Democratic Party.
