Mike Rogers's allies ask AIPAC not to advertise in Michigan Senate race against Abdul El-Sayed
Allies of Republican Senate nominee Mike Rogers asked AIPAC not to run ads on his behalf, fearing the group's visibility could hurt him in the general election against Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed. AIPAC had spent over $30 million in the Democratic primary to defeat El-Sayed and prepared to spend more, but shelved a completed ad after Rogers met with AIPAC chair Michael Tuchin. Direct talks between the two sides have stalled, with Republican donors attempting to mediate.
