The progressive wing of the US Democratic Party recorded a dramatic achievement in Michigan’s Senate primary. Abdul El-Sayed, who called for an end to military aid to Israel, defeated moderate Haley Stevens. The victory was achieved with encouragement from the state’s large Arab community and is raising grave concern among supporters of Israel
The extreme progressive wing of the US Democratic Party achieved a significant victory as candidate Abdul El-Sayed won the state’s Democratic Senate primary election last night (Tuesday). El-Sayed, who placed a firm call to halt military aid to the State of Israel at the center of his campaign, managed to overcome moderate Congresswoman Haley Stevens, who enjoyed the backing of the Democratic establishment and pro-Israel organizations.
The race in Michigan turned into a passionate political battlefield between the moderate and progressive wings of the Democratic Party, particularly surrounding the issue of support for Israel. Stevens benefited from tens of millions of dollars in funding from pro-Israel groups, who argued she was the candidate with the highest chances of winning the general election. Now, El-Sayed will face the Republican candidate Mike Rogers, a former congressman.
US political analysts point out that the key factor behind El-Sayed’s victory is the large Arab-American community residing in Michigan, where deep hostility toward Israel exists. The election results are expected to dramatically influence the future of the Democratic Party and spark an intense debate over the power of the anti-Israel wing ahead of the 2028 presidential election.
The US President reacted: “Great news for the Republican Party. El-Sayed, the communist loser who hates Jews and Israel, is the expected winner in his race with the socialist. As usual, the polls were way off on this issue. She was not expected to perform nearly as well as she did. Now, the crazy policy of the Democrats will only get worse!”
