El-Sayed delivered a late night speech when he was leading Stevens by several points but the race had not yet been called. Stevens conceded on Wednesday, issuing a statement congratulating El-Sayed and saying that she would back him in the race. AIPAC, through an affiliated super PAC, poured over $30 million into backing Stevens and opposing El-Sayed — a record amount of spending for the pro-Israel group in a single race. Support for Israel has become a central issue in many primaries, and Stevens is one of Congress’s loudest backers of Israel. Some Democratic Stevens backers, like Rep. Hillary Scholten (D-Michigan), have even suggested that they won’t back El-Sayed in the general election.
