The high-stakes primary pits El-Sayed, a progressive former public health official, against Representative Haley Stevens. El-Sayed wants to end unconditional U.S. military aid to Israel and accuses Israel of genocide. Stevens is a moderate backed by pro-Israel groups and has been a vocal longtime supporter of Israel.
