Campaign Stevens is reportedly receiving the private backing of the Democratic Senate leadership, including
Chuck Schumer,
Kirsten Gillibrand, and the
Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC). However, they have yet to publicly take sides in the Democratic primary. Although not openly supporting any candidate, AIPAC solicited contributions for Stevens' campaign in a September 2025 fundraising e-mail, directing donors to a site for direct contributions to the campaign, bypassing earmark requirements.
