Mike Rogers Addresses Trump’s Remarks About Opponent Abdul El-Sayed in CNN Interview
Dana Bash pressed Rogers to answer for Trump’s Islam-related attacks on Abdul El-Sayed as the Michigan Senate race tightened.
- On Wednesday, Senator Bernie Sanders transferred $1 million to Democrat Abdul El-Sayed's campaign after learning the American Israel Public Affairs Committee planned to spend up to $9 million to defeat him.
- AIPAC is investing in Republican Mike Rogers for the general election, a rare decision that Sanders has long opposed as part of a broader fight for the Democratic Party's direction.
- Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez also donated $1 million to El-Sayed recently, while Sanders' team collected pledges totaling $300,000 from allies including Senators Martin Heinrich, Tina Smith, Chris Van Hollen, and Jeff Merkley.
- AIPAC responded to the contribution with mocking posts on X, characterizing Sanders' accusations as "obsessive scapegoating" in a tongue-in-cheek reply to the senator's challenge.
- The Michigan race underscores the influence of outside money in politics, with Sanders calling the donation "a way to stand with democracy" amid his criticism of U.S. support for Israel.
