"Our members remain determined to ensure that voters reject Dr El-Sayed and his radical anti-Israel agenda," the American Israeli Public Affairs Committee (Aipac) said in a statement.
The race between pro-Israel Congresswoman Haley Stevens and former Detroit public health official Abdul El-Sayed quickly became the most expensive Democratic primary race of all time.
Half a million more Democratic voters showed up to the polls than in previous primary races, which typically see low turnouts, Michigan Democratic Party Chair Curtis Hertel said on Wednesday.
"Out with all the big money, dark money and corporate and special interest control of our politics.
Now comes Abdul El-Sayed, somebody who has made truth and justice two central pillars to his campaign."
