Michigan Democrats want to fight Trump. First they have to stop fighting each other
Party leaders say internal disputes over Israel and antisemitism are distracting Democrats from their economic message and November strategy.
- Michigan Democrats face internal fractures following Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed's primary victory, as prominent party members withhold endorsements citing his association with controversial streamer Hasan Piker.
- Disagreements stem from Piker's history of inflammatory remarks, including saying America "deserved 9/11" and recent comments suggesting Jewish institutions promote dangerous propaganda regarding Israel.
- Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel, who is Jewish, asserted El-Sayed should not "make excuses" for domestic terrorism, referencing a March video statement following a synagogue attack.
- Party leaders including U.S. Rep. Jamie Raskin are urging unity ahead of this weekend's convention in Lansing, describing friction as "a process that we go through" after the primary.
- While El-Sayed aims to pivot toward November's general election against Republican nominee Mike Rogers, strategists fear the ongoing Piker controversy could jeopardize chances in the competitive Senate race.
