Can a Pro-Israel Democrat Still Win a Big Primary? She’s Going to Try.
The New York Times • • nation
Key Points:
- Mainstream Democrats supporting U.S. military aid to Israel have recently lost several high-profile primary races to progressive candidates advocating to end such support.
- Haley Stevens, a moderate Michigan congresswoman, is attempting to buck this trend by firmly backing Israel in one of the Democratic Party’s key Senate primaries.
- Stevens denies that a genocide has occurred in Gaza and supports maintaining unconditional U.S. military aid to Israel.
- She has received over $28 million in advertising support from the leading pro-Israel super PAC, along with an additional $20 million from other super PACs with undisclosed donors, despite publicly criticizing dark money in politics.
