El-Sayed Leads Haley Stevens in 8 of 10 Polls in Spite of Being Outspent by 60 Million Dollars SUBSCRIBE 👉 @hawkpodcasts Become a Member: Around 60 million dollars has been spent supporting Haley Stevens in the Michigan Democratic Senate primary, roughly 30 million of it from AIPAC-affiliated spending, and Hawk points to the New York Times polling page to show it is not working. Across the ten most recent polls listed, Dr. Abdul El-Sayed leads in eight, several by double digits, while spending a fraction of what has been marshaled against him. Hawk frames the race as a case study in a party disconnected from its base. He cites polling showing a large majority of Democratic voters now hold unfavorable views of the Israeli government and believe the US provides too much support, a sharp shift over the past year. Stevens, running as a full supporter of aid to Israel without conditions, is campaigning against where those voters have moved, while El-Sayed, endorsed by Bernie Sanders and AOC, runs on Medicare for All and affordability. The back half is about the reaction. Michigan Representative Hillary Scholten's cable appearance, the Jake Tapper and Dana Bash segments on Hasan Piker, and the Third Way pushback all read to Hawk as desperation. His closing question is what the establishment does if El-Sayed wins a seat Democrats need in a tough map. #AbdulElSayed #HaleyStevens #AIPAC #Michigan #HasanPiker #GaryPeters #JasmineCrockett #HillaryScholten #BernieSanders #AOC #ThirdWay #SenatePrimary #Israel #Democrats #Progressives #Midterms #Polling #Politics #News #Hawk Timestamps 00:00 The Michigan Senate primary and where the base is 02:27 Why Stevens is running against her voters 03:00 The New York Times polls: El-Sayed leads eight of ten 04:52 60 million spent, and why the money is not working 05:45 A party that treats its base with contempt 09:14 Hillary Scholten and the establishment reaction 10:47 Hasan Piker, Tapper, Bash, and Third Way 13:13 What happens if El-Sayed wins SUPPORT & CONNECT WITH HAWK - Support on Patreon: - Hawk's Merch Store: - Connect on TikTok: - Connect on BlueSky: - Connect on Substack: - Connect on Facebook: - Connect on Instagram: - Connect on Twitch: ALL HAWK PODCASTS INFO - Additional Content Available Here: - Listen to Hawk Podcasts On Your Favorite Platform: Spotify: Apple Podcasts: YouTube: iHeartRadio: Pandora:
