Senate candidate Haley Stevens stands firm on backing U.S. military aid to Israel
Michigan Rep. Haley Stevens, one of two Democrats in the primary for her party's Senate nomination, stands firm on backing U.S. military aid to Israel and claims opponent Abdul El-Sayed "equivocates" on the issue.
On the eve of Michigan's primary elections, incumbent Rep. Haley Stevens faced probing questions about the significant donations from AIPAC-affiliated groups towards her Senate campaign. Stevens staunchly defended her decision to continue supporting U.S. military aid to Israel, despite waning public support for the stance. She advocated for a two-state solution and long-term peace, criticizing her primary opponent Abdul El-Sayed for not recognizing Israel's right to exist as a state.
Stevens accused El-Sayed of having equivocal views and failing to acknowledge Israel's quest for peace. Stevens, who is trailing El-Sayed in the polls by double digits, insisted on her role as Michigan's workhorse and dismissed El-Sayed's potential candidacy for the presidency.
