Sanders Attacks AIPAC After Socialist Candidate Survives Pro-Israel Pushback
After spending more than $30 million backing Haley Stevens, Aipac says it will now help defeat Abdul El-Sayed in November.
- Abdul El-Sayed won Michigan's Democratic Senate primary on Tuesday, defeating establishment-backed Rep. Haley Stevens despite AIPAC spending $32 million to oppose his campaign.
- AIPAC's super PAC poured a record $31.7 million into supporting Stevens, aiming to defeat El-Sayed, who centered his campaign on "getting money out of politics" and criticizing Israel's military actions.
- El-Sayed secured the nomination with a 1% margin—approximately 14,000 votes—prompting Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and other establishment Democrats to quickly unify behind him for November.
- Following the primary loss, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee indicated it will pivot to support Republican nominee Mike Rogers in the November general election.
- The race highlights shifting Democratic voter sentiment toward the Israeli lobby, with analysts debating whether heavy-handed outside spending is backfiring in blue primary races.
