AIPAC’s $30M Bet in Michigan | Lubbock News
Description
AIPAC is pouring nearly $30 million into a Michigan congressional race — its largest single campaign investment ever — to unseat a progressive favorite and install a candidate aligned with its pro-Israel agenda. As the U.S.-Israel conflict stirs deep divisions within the Democratic Party, this race in a state with a large Arab American population becomes a flashpoint for grassroots vs. big money politics. El-Sayed’s team accuses his opponent of being a puppet for billionaires, while AIPAC’s ads avoid mentioning Israel, focusing instead on manufacturing and Obama. With outside groups spending nearly $50 million — some anonymously — and figures like Bernie Sanders and AOC weighing in, this race is seen as a test of whether money can’t always buy the win.
