## Resource

Michigan’s Senate race is exploding into a fiery showdown over foreign policy, especially Israel, as Abdul El-Sayed accuses AIPAC of bribery and calls out the outsized influence of lobbyists, while opponent Haley Stevens fiercely defends the U.S.-Israel alliance. The debate exposes deep fractures in the Democratic Party, with Rep. Debbie Dingell warning that ignoring these issues risks alienating Michigan’s diverse Jewish and Arab American communities. El-Sayed’s campaign argues that foreign lobbies distort democracy, while scrutiny over his family’s foreign assets—particularly real estate in India—adds fuel to the fire. This high-stakes primary is turning national policy into a deeply personal, locally charged battle. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
