El-Sayed and Stevens to make rare joint appearance as Democrats seek unity in Michigan Senate race
The joint church appearance follows a public clash over an outside ad and aims to rebuild Democratic unity as Mike Rogers courts centrist voters.
- On Friday, Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed rejected Rep. Haley Stevens' demand to condemn a controversial advertisement, casting doubt on their planned Sunday appearance alongside South Carolina Rep. Jim Clyburn.
- Stevens demanded El-Sayed denounce a Rebellion PAC ad linking U.S. aid for Israel to rising grocery costs, which she called antisemitic, while also urging him to remove a campaign advertisement featuring Tucker Carlson.
- El-Sayed refused the demands, accusing the congresswoman of "relitigating" their bitter primary contest instead of focusing on defeating Republican candidate Mike Rogers, while his campaign stated he is not affiliated "in any way" with the outside group.
- While Stevens previously signaled she would vote for El-Sayed, the public spat leaves the status of their Sunday joint appearance uncertain, with representatives for both candidates failing to confirm if the event will proceed as scheduled.
- This escalation occurs four days before voters choose between El-Sayed and Rogers in a Senate race the nonpartisan Cook Political Report rates as a toss-up, highlighting stakes for Democrats seeking to control Congress.
