AIPAC Dumps Last-Minute $9M Behind Mike Rogers in Rebuke of Abdul El-Sayed

This story is from the archive. It was covered between 21 October 2026 and 22 October 2026, and nothing below has been updated since. See what is happening now.

AIPAC’s super PAC quietly routs up to $9M to help Mike Rogers beat Abdul El-Sayed, timed to stay hidden until after Election Day.

What the coverage shows

The New York Times frames the story around AIPAC’s last-minute spending and emphasizes that the group, usually aligned with Democrats, has spent heavily against Abdul El-Sayed, with a note that Mike Rogers’s campaign had initial concerns. 60 Minutes does not focus on the donation at all; its extract is only about the second and final Michigan Senate debate between El-Sayed and Rogers. The two outlets therefore diverge sharply, with only the Times foregrounding the funding move.
