Voters in Michigan, a critical swing state, sent a clear message, with major gains for leftist pro-Palestinian candidates in the state’s primaries. The question now is: What comes next?
Abdul El-Sayed overcame a record $30 million in AIPAC spending to defeat pro-Israel candidate Haley Stevens in Michigan. The race was widely viewed as a referendum on the political influence of the Israel lobby.
Michigan polls show Abdul El-Sayed leading Haley Stevens in the latest battle between the Democratic Party establishment and the insurgent left, as voters reject corporate and lobby money, including from AIPAC, that aims to maintain the status quo.
NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani released a social media video calling Benjamin Netanyahu a war criminal and it predictably led to a full-scale pro-Israel meltdown.
This week offered a clear example of how elected officials in Washington, D.C., bend their own rules to keep weapons flowing to Israel. Political results outside Washington this week also showed us why this may soon change.

Mamdani-backed candidates swept New York City’s Democratic primaries. What do these wins tell us about Palestine’s place in the Democratic Party, and will they help shape the upcoming primaries?

AIPAC helped oust Thomas Massie in Kentucky, but Chris Rabb’s win in Philadelphia dealt a major blow to pro-Israel groups and the Democratic Party establishment.
