Senate Candidate Hill Harper Rejects $20M Offer to Challenge Rep. Tlaib

Businessman Linden Nelson Allegedly Proposed the Offer, Split Between Direct Campaign Contributions and Independent Expenditures

Michigan Senate candidate Hill Harper was allegedly offered $20 million by businessman Linden Nelson to drop his Senate race and challenge Rep. Rashida Tlaib instead.
Harper, an actor known for his roles on 'CSI: NY' and 'The Good Doctor', declined the offer, stating on social media that he 'won't be bossed, bullied, or bought'.
The offer was reportedly split between $10 million in direct campaign contributions and $10 million in independent expenditures.
Nelson, who has ties to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), has previously donated to both Democratic and Republican candidates.
Tlaib, the only Palestinian-American in Congress, has faced criticism for her stance on the Israel-Gaza conflict and was censured by the House earlier this month.
