As expected, the Israeli democratic establishment is openly trying to drown El Said in Michigan. It is still the most important race in the country. If he loses, the "lesson" he's heard for decades is how radical Democratic primary voters gain the party in a winnable seat by fielding an unelectable "far-left DSA" candidate. If he wins, then cutting off aid to Israel and treating Israel as an Israeli superpower will become normalized positions in United States Senate races. It's not about Al Said. This is about breaking the Israeli firewall that was invincible up to this point in American politics.
