Rep. Haley Stevens ends Levin political dynasty in brutal Democratic primary
The rare incumbent-vs.-incumbent matchup in Michigan pitted Stevens, a moderate, and Andy Levin, a progressive, in a battle that was colored by differences over Israel policy.

WASHINGTON — The Levin political dynasty came to an end Tuesday night in a brutal House primary in the Detroit suburbs, as NBC News projects that progressive Rep. Andy Levin, D-Mich., lost to more moderate Rep. Haley Stevens, D-Mich.
Levin is the son of former Rep. Sander Levin, D-Mich., and a nephew of the late Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich. At least one member of the family has served in Congress since 1979 — a run that will come to an end in January.
The rare incumbent-vs.-incumbent primary matchup was the result of a redistricting plan that merged portions of their current districts, with more voters coming from Stevens' current territory.
In an unusual twist, Levin, who is Jewish, was forced to defend his record on Israel-related policies against attacks from supporters of Stevens, who has been more hawkish on the issue despite not being Jewish. A super PAC affiliated with the American Israel Public Affairs Committee spent $4.2 million on ads boosting Stevens and hitting Levin, while J Street, a progressive pro-Israel group, paid about $700,000 for ads backing Levin.

One of the Jewish oligarchs dropping money on AIPAC to remove Rep. Andy Levin in Michigan:
This is not good, not good at all. The Jewish political activist Laura Loomer saying she wants to "fight for Christian nationalism." Better run like hell for the doors...it is the Christian Zionists who have industrialized Zionism aggravating American Jews to no end forcing Jews to Israel.
Christian nationalism is gaining more of a foothold as an openly embraced concept in the GOP. At a campaign rally tonight, Republican congressional hopeful Laura Loomer, who's Jewish, promised her audience that she "will fight for Christian nationalism." Grim stuff!
