In Detroit, pro-Israel Senate candidate Haley Stevens meets pro-Palestinan El-Sayed voter
Jai Singletary says he voted for Stevens' opponent solely on Israel issue, but came to meet her to develop a connection in the event she becomes the Democratic nominee
During a campaign stop in Detroit, Michigan, US Rep. Haley Stevens, a pro-Israel Democratic Senate candidate, encountered Jai Singletary, a voter who had already cast his primary ballot for her pro-Palestinian opponent, Abdul El-Sayed. Singletary, director of a local neighborhood improvement association, stated that candidates' stances on aid to Israel were his deciding factor, asserting, "Genocide isn’t a Palestinian issue. We’ve all got to care about this." He also expressed that "our country is directly responsible for peace not being achieved" and that aid money should remain in the US rather than go to Israel. This interaction highlights the significant role of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in Michigan's Democratic Senate primary, particularly regarding how it influences voters across different demographics, including the Black community.
