AIPAC features as key topic at last Democratic debate before Michigan primary vote

AIPAC's record spending in Michigan's Democratic Senate primary for Representative Haley Stevens dominated the final debate against Abdul El-Sayed. Stevens repeatedly avoided direct questions about her relationship with AIPAC, stating, "I have been very clear, consistent and transparent, and I have continued to be," while emphasizing her representation of a large Jewish community. El-Sayed criticized Stevens for her vote against an amendment to strip aid to Israel, arguing that AIPAC supports her because "they know that she'll be a reliable vote." The debate also touched on other super PAC funding, with El-Sayed receiving support from pro-Palestinian groups, though at a significantly smaller scale than AIPAC's spending for Stevens.
