The Democratic Party’s far-left flank and establishment wing clashed during a Senate debate in Michigan. Candidates El-Sayed and Stevens debated over who could best represent Michigan and defeat Republican candidate Mike Rogers in the November general election.
AIPAC Spending
El-Sayed criticized Stevens for receiving over $46 million in AIPAC-related spending, claiming it exposed a fundamental difference between the candidates. Stevens defended her support for a two-state solution and said the spending would not influence her conduct in office.
El-Sayed also repeated his attacks on pro-Israel and corporate spending supporting Stevens, while Stevens questioned El-Sayed’s financial transparency and accused him of benefiting from a super PAC funded in part by his father-in-law.
Policy Differences
The candidates also battled over the future of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, with Stevens calling it a ‘rogue agency’ and El-Sayed labeling it ‘tyrannical’ and calling for abolishing it altogether. El-Sayed argued that eliminating the legislative filibuster would help Democrats pass the PRO Act and clear a path for stronger antitrust enforcement.
