AIPAC Is All In For MAGA Mike Rogers against El-Sayed

You said: how much is AIPAC spending against el-Sayed?
The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), primarily operating through its super PAC, the United Democracy Project (UDP) , has spent or planned nearly $40 million total to oppose Democratic candidate Abdul El-Sayed in the 2026 Michigan U.S. Senate race. [ 1 , 2 ]
The spending is divided into two distinct phases of the election cycle:
- The Democratic Primary: AIPAC spent more than $30 million on advertisements attacking El-Sayed and boosting his staunchly pro-Israel primary opponent, Rep. Haley Stevens. Despite this record-breaking expenditure, El-Sayed narrowly won the primary. [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]
- The General Election: According to reports published by The New York Times , AIPAC has committed up to $9 million more late in the cycle to oppose El-Sayed. This funding is being channeled to the Great Lakes Conservatives Fund , a super PAC backing El-Sayed's Republican opponent, Mike Rogers. Additionally, UDP has spent just under $300,000 on localized direct-mail campaigns targeting Michigan's Jewish voters. [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]
The Political Backdrop
Critics and progressive allies, including Senator Bernie Sanders—who countered the moves by immediately transferring $1 million from his own war chest to support El-Sayed—have sharply criticized the spending as an attempt by billionaire-backed outside groups to buy a Senate seat. Conversely, AIPAC leadership has maintained a principled opposition to El-Sayed due to his progressive foreign policy views, which include labeling Israel's operations in Gaza a genocide and advocating for the elimination of U.S. military aid to the country.

Which goes to clarify and prove the point: All conservatives and MAGA supporters care about in other group types is are you 'down' with Trump and the 'conservative experience' over your life. That is, as long as conservatives do not have to give up anything to have "you" around - not one iota of their way of life. . . you can join.
FORTY MILLION DOLLARS! Why in hell is a foreign political lobby spending forty million to buy a US Senate election for a MAGA?
