  "account": "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.",
  "summary": "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.",
