El-Sayed and Stevens to make rare joint appearance as Democrats seek unity in Michigan Senate race
The appearance aims to unify Democrats and boost turnout after a razor-thin primary, with Jim Clyburn joining to court Black voters.
- Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed will campaign Sunday in Detroit with Rep. Haley Stevens and South Carolina Rep. Jim Clyburn for a get-out-the-vote event at a church.
- Their first joint appearance since the primary follows weeks of internal friction over El-Sayed's past remarks on Israel and an independent ad campaign linking support for Israel to grocery prices.
- Divisions spilled into public view Wednesday when Stevens' fiancé, Jason Turkish, told The Detroit News he would vote for Republican Mike Rogers. Rabbi Aaron Starr said the campaign temperature "has turned way up."
- Stevens reaffirmed her support for El-Sayed on CNN but urged his campaign to "shut out the hate and call it out." Both candidates are targeting Black voters in Wayne County to increase turnout.
- With the election approaching, Republican Mike Rogers appeared Wednesday with Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas at an event hosted by the Republican Jewish Coalition in Birmingham, Michigan.
