AIPAC Spends About $30 Million in Michigan Senate Primary
AIPAC and allied groups have made their largest single-race investment, while other outside organizations have spent nearly $50 million in the contest.
- The American Israel Public Affairs Committee and its affiliates have spent close to $30 million backing Senate candidate Haley Stevens ahead of the August 4 primary, marking their largest investment ever in a single race.
- Outside organizations have poured roughly $50 million into boosting Stevens' candidacy, including $12 million from A Stronger Michigan, which does not disclose its donors.
- Progressive candidate Abdul El-Sayed has recruited more than 10,000 volunteers statewide, while New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Senator Bernie Sanders campaign for him in Michigan this weekend.
- El-Sayed has made the extensive outside spending a centerpiece of his campaign, while Stevens told The Associated Press that her support stems from her "dedication to the people of Michigan" and service to Michiganders.
- The race reflects deep Democratic divisions over Israel, with 103 House Democrats voting unsuccessfully this week to block $3.3 billion in aid. El-Sayed would become the first Muslim U.S. senator if elected.
