In Detroit, pro-Israel Senate candidate Haley Stevens meets pro-Palestinan El-Sayed supporter

During a campaign stop in Detroit, pro-Israel US Senate candidate Haley Stevens encountered Jai Singletary, a local neighborhood director who revealed he voted for her primary opponent, Abdul El-Sayed, due to Stevens' stance on aid to Israel. Singletary, who is Black, emphasized, "Genocide isn't a Palestinian issue. We've all got to care about this," and stated his vote was "100% exclusive" based on Israel, arguing that US aid to Israel contributes to a lack of peace. This interaction highlights the significant role the Israel-Palestine conflict plays in Michigan's Democratic Senate primary, particularly concerning whether pro-Palestinian sentiment extends beyond Arab and Muslim voters to other demographics, including the Black community where Stevens has historically had strong support. Stevens, who has received substantial funding from AIPAC, is campaigning on other issues, while El-Sayed has made Israel central to his campaign.
