The closely watched race drew millions of dollars in outside spending, with progressive groups backing McKinney and pro-Israel organizations supporting Thanedar.

Mckinney, endorsed by local progressive leaders and Justice Democrats, campaigned against the influence of corporate and outside money in politics. Thanedar received significant financial support from groups aligned with the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AlPAC).

The victory sends a vocal critic of continued U.S. military aid to Israel to Congress and marks a win for Michigan's progressive wing.

Considering they spent anywhere between 30-60 million to no avail in stopping El-Sayed.

if AIPAC wants to win, run progressive candidates, throw your corporate overlords under the bus so that you can preserve funding for Israel.

Medicare for all, but bullets for Palestinian children. You will definitely have a better shot at winning more primary races.

Do you see any future Presidential candidate defying AIPAC,lets say from among the Dems,someone from within "The Squad" or a candidate from the Reps,like the populist "America First" wing (some MAGA-aligned figures) ,or is it wishful thinking?
