Rashida Tlaib wins Michigan primary despite pro-Israel spending
Al JazeeraTlaib all but secures a third term in US Congress after comfortably defeating primary challengers in Michigan district. Dearborn, Michigan, US – US Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib has all but secured re-election after comfortably fending off primary challengers and an advertising campaign by a pro-Israel group. I applaud her for that.” Yahya Al-Mawri, a Yemeni American voter, said he supports Tlaib because of her “honourable” stances in the US Congress, citing her recent push for justice for Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, who was fatally shot by Israeli forces in May. Dearborn Mayor Abdullah Hammoud said Tlaib’s advocacy for the people she represents is “second to none”. “It is good to know that we’re sending Rashida back with a mandate, so she can fight for all people from Detroit to Palestine, and we’re behind her 100 percent,” Kaplan told Al Jazeera.
