周一，密歇根州联邦众议员海莉·史蒂文斯在大急流城的一场活动外，抗议者表达了他们对美国以色列公共事务委员会（AIPAC）及其附属机构为她的参议院竞选花费数千万美元的不满，当天正是密歇根州初选的前一天。哥伦比亚广播公司新闻资深白宫与政治通讯员埃德·奥基夫就此向她提问，她迅速转移话题，辩称这些捐款反映了她得到民主党人的大力支持。
她声称：“每一项民调都显示，我是击败迈克·罗杰斯的最佳人选”，罗杰斯目前在共和党初选中无人对手。她接着说道：“我们的政治体制需要改革。我希望终结政治中的暗钱。”
“但你正是暗钱的受益者，”奥基夫指出。史蒂文斯再次提起罗杰斯：“他背后有一个由唐纳德·特朗普支持的4500万美元政治行动委员会。他向阿片类药物制造商和中国出卖了我们的利益，处处如此。”
截至目前，密歇根州参议院竞选的总开支已达约8000万美元，成为全美开支最高的竞选之一。其中6000万美元用于支持史蒂文斯的竞选活动。
奥基夫指出，支持以色列的AIPAC是为史蒂文斯竞选活动投入资金的主要团体之一。“在如今支持对以色列军事援助不像从前那么受欢迎的情况下，你仍投票支持继续提供此类援助，”奥基夫问道，“为什么继续支持以色列的军事行动如此重要？”
“在这次初选中，我们有两种截然不同的立场，对吧？我支持两国方案，”史蒂文斯说，“我希望实现长期和平。我曾公开批评以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡。他曾点名攻击我。他未能实现让我们走向长期和平的目标。”
随后，史蒂文斯抨击了她的初选对手、进步民粹主义者阿卜杜勒·赛义德。
“他模棱两可。他不会承认以色列作为一个国家的生存权，”史蒂文斯断言。
赛义德曾批评美国对以色列的援助，并称以色列在加沙的行动是“种族灭绝”。他还批评史蒂文斯接受AIPAC的捐款。
但史蒂文斯告诉奥基夫，她“正努力确保巴勒斯坦和以色列人民能够实现和平与尊严。”
她还暗示，如果赛义德赢得初选并最终当选，可能无法长久履职。
“我正在投入六年艰苦且不起眼的工作，”史蒂文斯说，“我是密歇根州的实干家。这就是我想要成为的样子。我的对手已经在为总统竞选搭建网站了。”
过去两周，赛义德在民调中以两位数的优势领先史蒂文斯，她似乎也清楚自己处于落后位置：“我认为我是经过验证的斗士，能够应对当下的局势。听着，我可能是这场竞选中的黑马。这对我来说没关系。”

Haley Stevens stands firm on backing U.S. military aid to Israel, claims El-Sayed won’t recognize Israel’s right to exist

Protesters outside an event in Gran Rapids for Michigan Rep. Haley Stevens were registering their concern about the tens of millions of dollars spent on her Senate campaign by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, or AIPAC, and its affiliated groups on Monday, the day before the Michigan primaries. CBS News senior White House and political correspondent Ed O’Keefe asked her about it and she was quick to deflect and argue that donations were a reflection of the strong support she’s getting from Democrats.
She claimed, “Every single poll shows I’m the best one to go beat Mike Rogers,” who is running unopposed for the Republican nomination. She went on to say, “Our system needs to evolve. I want to end dark money in politics.”
“But you’re the beneficiary of it,” O’Keefe pointed out. Again, Stevens brought up Rogers: “He’s got a $45 million PAC waiting for him, supported by Donald Trump. He has sold us out to opioid manufacturers and China, left and right.”
So far, about $80 million has been spent on the Michigan Senate race, making it one of the most expensive in the country. And $60 million of it has been spent on Stevens’ behalf.
O’Keefe noted that the pro-Israel AIPAC is one of the major groups spending on Stevens’ campaign. “You’re someone who’s voted for continuing military aid to Israel at a time when that’s not as popular a stand as it once was,” O’Keefe said before asking, “Why is continuing to support Israel’s military important?”
“You get two different views here in this primary, right? I want a two-state solution,” Stevens said. “I want long-term peace. I’ve called out Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He’s attacked me by name. He has failed in the goal of getting us to long-term peace.”
Stevens then went after her opponent in the primary, progressive populist Abdul El-Sayed.
“He equivocates. He will not recognize Israel’s right to exist as a state,” Stevens asserted.
El-Sayed has criticized U.S. aid to Israel and has called Israel’s actions in Gaza “genocide.” He has criticized Stevens for taking donations from AIPAC.
But Stevens told O’Keefe she is “trying to make sure that we’ve got peace and that we’ve got dignity for people in Palestine and in Israel.
She also suggested that El-Sayed might not be around for the long haul, if he were to win the primary and the election.
“This is six years of hard, unglamorous work that I’m signing up for,” Stevens said. “I’m Michigan’s workhorse. That’s what I want to be. My opponent, he’s already got his website for president.”
El-Sayed has been leading Stevens in the polls by double digits for the last two weeks, and she seemed aware that she’s behind: “I think I’m the proven fighter who’s meeting the moment. Look, I might be the underdog in this race. That’s OK with me.”
