AIPAC gets lots of attention in Michigan Senate primary, but voters say it’s not their top issue

In the Michigan Senate primary taking place on Tuesday, progressive candidate Abdul El-Sayed, a harsh critic of Israel, faces off against pro-Israel moderate Haley Stevens. The race has drawn significant national attention due to the involvement of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), which backs Stevens and has been made a central focus of El-Sayed's campaign.

Despite the intense focus and heavy campaigning surrounding AIPAC's involvement and the candidates' contrasting stances on Israel, local voters indicate that the foreign policy debate is not their top issue in the primary election.
