AIPAC draws attention in Michigan Senate primary, but voters say it is not top issue
AIPAC’s super PAC has spent over $30 million to support Stevens’ campaign, toppling its previous records in a bid to prevent one of its most vocal Democratic critics from reaching the Senate.
Noelle Gray, a morning producer for Detroit's Local 4 television station, observed the significant influence of AIPAC in Michigan's Democratic Senate primary. AIPAC's super PAC has contributed over $30 million to support US Rep. Haley Stevens, a pro-Israel moderate, over former county health official Abdul El-Sayed, a progressive and staunch critic of Israel.
Gray, who voted for El-Sayed, expressed her concern about foreign interests and AIPAC's spending, emphasizing her desire to support a candidate who prioritizes Michigan's well-being. Despite AIPAC's enormous influence, polling suggests that it is not the top concern for most Democratic voters in the state.
