The Dark Money Politics of Pro Israel Lobbying The Democratic Senate primary in Michigan has highlighted the contentious issue of big money's influence on politics, particularly through the pro Israel lobby.
Candidates Haley Stevens and Abdul El Sayed are engaged in a bitter fight for the nomination, with their campaigns serving as proxies for larger debates about foreign policy, economic inequality, and the role of money in politics.
The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) has spent over $30 million on behalf of Stevens, with half coming directly from AIPAC and its affiliated groups.
