Michigan Democrats pick between Abdul and Stevens
The Michigan state election to choose the Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate is underway, pitting Abdulaziz Al-Sayed, who is calling for an end to U.S. military aid to Israel and launching a campaign against the party’s recent support for Israel, against Congresswoman Hily Stephens, backed by pro-Israel lobbying groups advocating for continued strong support for Israel. The election highlights divisions within the Democratic Party over Israel support, with backing for the Israeli program among Democrats declining from 59% in 2018 to 22% in May 2026. Pro-Israel lobbying groups are spending millions to support Stephens, while a victory for Abdulaziz Al-Sayed could spotlight internal anger and demands to redirect funds domestically, whereas Stephens’ victory reflects the influence of pro-Israel lobbyists. This election serves as a test for the future of the Democratic Party ahead of the upcoming November elections.
