"$20M Offered to Hill Harper for Primary Challenge Against Rashida Tlaib"

Hill Harper, a Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate in Michigan, claimed on social media that he was offered $20 million to drop out of the race and challenge U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib in the primary, but he declined the offer. The alleged offer, if true, would signal an attempt to challenge Tlaib, a vocal critic of Israel. However, it could also potentially violate campaign finance laws. Harper is running to replace retiring Sen. Debbie Stabenow, and the presumed frontrunner in the primary is Rep. Elissa Slotkin. AIPAC, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, denied any involvement in the matter. Tlaib has been targeted by pro-Israel groups for her criticism of Israeli military action in Gaza.
