Allies of Mike Rogers, a Republican Senate nominee in Michigan, have asked the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (Aipac) not to run ads on his behalf, according to Axios.

As pro-Israel lobby group becomes increasingly unpopular across US politics, Axios says aides for Rogers warned its involvement would be detrimental to defeating Abdul El-Sayed

The new report comes after AIPAC's giving became a focal point of Michigan's Democratic primary between el Sayed and Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI).
