AP Photo/Paul Sancya NBC News has projected that Dr. Abdul El-Sayed will win the U.S. Senate primary in Michigan after enduring a mind-bogglingly expensive ad campaign against him by one of the most powerful lobbies in the U.S. As of this writing, El-Sayed leads Stevens 48.8% to 47.2%, with 93% of the expected votes in. The American Israel Public Affairs Committee spent more than $30 million in ads to boost Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI), who has been an ardent supporter of Israel, stating in 2023, “Israel comes to me in my dreams!” El-Sayed, meanwhile, has said he wants to end U.S. aid to Israel. About a half-dozen outside political action committees spent $62 million on ads supporting Stevens, giving her a nine-to-one spending advantage over El-Sayed. AIPAC did not officially spend money on campaigns prior to the 2022 election cycle, when it spent $29 million. In the 2024 cycle, it spent $46 million. This cycle, which still has several months to go, has spent $67 million so far, and nearly half on the Michigan primary, which is now the most expensive Democratic Senate primary in history. As polls consistently showed El-Sayed, a former Michigan public health official, with a lead in the waning days of the campaign, Stevens told her opponent that “you want to blame all of your problems on Jewish Americans.” Stevens, who is not Jewish, offered no evidence for her claim, but did quote-tweet a video of El-Sayed daring AIPAC, “Come for me.” In the video, El-Sayed also called Stevens “the least capable candidate in America.” Stevens has been critical of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over his role in lobbying President Donald Trump to start the Iran war in February. In an interview with CNN in early July, Netanyahu criticized Stevens on CNN, baselessly claiming, “She’s trying to probably excuse anti-Semitism.” As Politico noted at the time, Netanyahu may actually have been trying to help Stevens with his comment. “Netanyahu’s remarks gave Stevens a crucial opening to distance herself from the pro-Israel stances that have fallen sharply out of favor with Democratic voters,” the publication stated.The post Abdul El-Sayed Fends Off $30 Million AIPAC Ad Buy to Win Michigan Primary, NBC Projects first appeared on Mediaite.

Michael Moore told CNN he is so disgusted by the same old flavor of Democratic politicians he is willing to get on his knees and beg — if his body would allow him to — for progressive candidates to come in and topple the party establishment. The director was in a near frenzy on Tuesday night when he joined anchor Laura Coates to discuss the state of the Democratic Party and the primary in his home state of Michigan. Coates said there is an ongoing “battle” inside the party over what type of candidates will lead it moving forward, which she said is represented by the Senate primary race between Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI) and frontrunner Abdul El-Sayed (D). “There is a clash between what people think is possible and what they think requires the continuation of some aspect of the status quo,” Coates said, before asking, “Does there require a change in the establishment and in the way things are done to effectuate the changes you want to see?” “If I could get on my knees and beg it would be for exactly what you said, because we are not going to win the other way,” Moore said. “We lost that way in ’24. It’s not going to happen if we allow this to happen. We are in charge of this and we need to get busy right now.” He then said El-Sayed’s anti-Israel views are a key selling point for him and many other Dem voters. Moore said the party needs to be more like El-Sayed, and less like Stevens. “It’s not about electability — let me tell ya, I’ve known Dr. El-Sayed for many years, I worked on his campaign for governor in 2018. Boy, we would be so lucky if he were our senator, representing us, and standing up for the people who are dying, dying every day over there,” Moore said. Moore added, “I will not support hacks — hacks in the Democratic Party who have led us to this Waterloo.” A moment earlier, the man behind Fahrenheit 9/11 railed against Kamala Harris and ex-President Joe Biden, accusing them of betraying young voters and liberals in 2024 in order to support Israel and what he framed as the country’s murder spree in Gaza. “All the young people in the ’24 election are like ‘I Don’t want to die. I’m not gonna die.

Trump has criticized Pirro in recent days after she moved on Friday to dismiss a felony charge against David Hearn, a former Olympic canoeist, for destruction of government property. The Department of Justice’s criminal complaint alleged that Hearn had damaged the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, the renovation of which Trump has personally overseen. In her motion to dismiss, Pirro stated that the Department of Interior, which oversees the pool, had failed to give her the relevant information before she decided to bring the charge, and that the issues with the pool are due to a “botched installation.” That explanation has drawn criticism from legal experts, who slammed the lack of due diligence. On Monday, Trump told reporters that Pirro “choked” in the case. Hours later, she was summoned to the White House, where the president reportedly “read her the riot act,” two sources briefed in the meeting told CNN. Shortly before boarding Air Force One in Los Angeles after a Republican National Committee event at his Rancho Palos Verdes golf club, Trump took questions from reporters. The president reiterated his baseless claims that the algae blooms and peeling paint in the Reflecting Pool were caused by “vandalism.” “And everybody saw the vandalism,” Trump claimed before citing a “tape” that may or may not exist. “All you have to do is look at the tape. If you look at the tape– plus, we have a witness or two witnesses that saw the vandalism. So, certainly, there was vandalism. It was actually, in my opinion, it was major vandalism. And I told her I was not happy.” “Is she safe?” a reporter asked. “Are you gonna keep her in the position?” “Uh,” Trump replied. “I haven’t made a determination.” After moving to drop the charges against Hearn, Pirro’s office also sought to dismiss charges against three other defendants in the case of the busted Reflecting Pool.

- Hannity Rejects Fox News’ Own Poll on Texas Senate Race: ‘I Don’t Believe ...Fox News’ Sean Hannity disputed polling from his own network showing Texas state Rep. James Talarico (D) leading Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) 51% to 48% in the race for U.S. Senate, remarking, “I don’t believe it for two seconds.” The Fox News poll, released last Thursday, randomly sampled 1,006 Texas registered voters, with a margin of error of ±3 percentage points. Along with the three-point Talarico lead, the survey found that 24% of non-MAGA Republicans said they support the Democratic candidate over Paxton. Debating former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio on Tuesday’s edition of Hannity, the Fox News host said, “So, you think ‘Six-Gender Talarico,’ who believes God is non-binary, who believes biological men should play women’s sports, and believes that biological men should have access to abortion —” “Did you read your own poll today where Talarico is beating Paxton?” de Blasio asked. “Okay, I don’t believe it for two seconds,” insisted Hannity. “Not for two.” Paxton’s candidacy, despite winning an endorsement from President Donald Trump over longtime incumbent Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), has been scandal-ridden, with questions about alleged voter fraud, lavish vacations with what some call his “mistress,” his office’s plea deal with child sex predator Adam Hoffman, and more. Later in the segment, de Blasio remarked that Talarico is talking about “common-sense, kitchen-table issues, which his opponent isn’t,” calling the scenario “the worst nightmare for Republicans.” “When you lose [political strategist] James Carville, and [late-night host] Bill Maher, and you lose [CEO of Stagwell Inc] Mark Penn, who was just on, and [Sen.] John Fetterman [D-PA], and [former Sen.] Joe Manchin [I-WV], I’m telling you, it’s a canary in the coal mine,” Hannity claimed. “Nope,” snapped de Blasio. “Young voters are gonna change these elections. You’re gonna be surprised, and they’re gonna be with the Democrats.” Watch the full clip above via Fox News.The post Hannity Rejects Fox News’ Own Poll on Texas Senate Race: ‘I Don’t Believe It for Two Seconds’ first appeared on Mediaite.

- Bernie Sanders Dares Disgruntled James Carville To ‘Start His Own Party’ Aft...Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) dared veteran political strategist James Carville to “start his own party” after Carville threatened to ditch Democrats over their association with progressive commentator Hasan Piker. Sanders joined CNN’s Abby Phillip on Tuesday evening as progressive Democrats like Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan came out victorious in their primaries. Sayed is one of a number of Democrats facing scrutiny over his relationship to Piker. Phillip asked Sanders about one controversial statement Piker made and whether he was “comfortable” with it. She referenced Piker saying America “deserved” the 9/11 terrorist attacks, which Sanders dismissed as a “dumb statement.” The senator still argued Piker should be welcomed into the Democratic Party tent and that Democrats should stay clear of “cancel culture.” Phillip then brought up Carville’s threat to leave the Democratic Party if Piker is being welcomed into the fold. “Well, that’s not much of a choice. If Mr. Carville doesn’t want to be in my party and the party I belong to, that Piker belongs to, that El-Sayed belongs to, he can start his own party,” Sanders said. The senator called out his own party members who receive money from the pro-Israel lobby organization AIPAC and support Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. “You can turn the tables around and say, do you really want to be in a party where your leadership is taking huge amounts of money from AIPAC, which is supporting an extremist Netanyahu government that many of us believe committed genocide? Do you want to be in a party with people who do that?” he asked. Sanders added, “We need a big tent and people like Hasan Piker should be welcomed into that, certainly.” Carville dropped his ultimatum during an appearance on Fox News this week. “I am not going to be in the same party with Hasan Piker, I can tell you that right now,” he said. “If he becomes a force in the Democratic Party, I’m out of here. I have no intention of ever being in the political party with that guy.” Watch above via CNN.The post Bernie Sanders Dares Disgruntled James Carville To ‘Start His Own Party’ After Slew of Progressive Victories first appeared on Mediaite.
