El-Sayed and Stevens to make rare joint appearance as Democrats seek unity in Michigan Senate race
- Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed and Rep. Haley Stevens planned a joint appearance at a Detroit church on Sunday with Rep. Jim Clyburn , though participation remains uncertain amid renewed tensions just days before the election.
- Lingering friction from their August primary intensified after Stevens' fiancé, Jason Turkish, endorsed Republican Mike Rogers, as divisions from the contentious primary have persisted since her narrow loss to El-Sayed.
- Stevens demanded El-Sayed formally condemn a Rebellion PAC advertisement linking U.S. aid to Israel with high grocery prices and remove a campaign spot featuring Tucker Carlson, citing antisemitism concerns.
- El-Sayed rejected these demands, accusing Stevens of appearing "intent on relitigating" the primary; his campaign reportedly requested she stay away from future events, threatening Sunday's appearance.
- With the Cook Political Report rating this race a toss-up, Republican nominee Mike Rogers is actively courting Jewish voters as the final days before the November 3 election approach.
