"El-Sayed, an epidemiologist and the former Wayne County health director, edged out Stevens despite her receiving heavy financial backing from groups aligned with the American Israel Public Affairs Committee [AIPAC]. El-Sayed now...[has] a shot at becoming the first Muslim U.S. senator.
Stevens received $62 million in advertising from outside groups, with $31.9 million of that coming from... AIPAC’s super PAC. It wasn’t enough to help her in the end."
