AIPAC recently spent $100,000 on mailers targeting Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan’s Senate race. Is it too little, too late?

A Michigan rabbis’ ‘nonnegotiable’ petition demanding El-Sayed disown Hasan Piker reveals a harsh truth for El-Sayed: that no amount of pandering will satisfy critics who want anti-Zionism expelled from the Democratic party outright.

Progressive candidates won Democratic primaries by centering Palestine. Now, advocates warn that without a firm demand like an arms embargo, politicians can co-opt ‘pro-Palestine’ rhetoric without real accountability.

AIPAC was poised to spend millions supporting Michigan’s GOP Senate nominee, Mike Rogers, but even he doesn’t want their help.

Analysis by multiple outlets shows a surge of Islamophobia across social media in response to Abdul El-Sayed’s Michigan victory.

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 the largest single-race investment in AIPAC’s history, but pro-Israel centrists are straining to downplay his victory in Michigan.

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.

Next week’s Michigan primary between Dr. Abdul El-Sayed and Haley Stevens is a referendum on AIPAC’s influence within the Democratic Party.
