El-Sayed drops Stevens from campaign event
The campaign removed Stevens from a Sunday Detroit church event and told him to stay away from future appearances as the Senate race feud deepened.
- On Saturday, the campaign for Democrat U.S. Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed removed Representative Haley Stevens from Sunday's planned Detroit church event, following an escalating dispute over an advertisement blaming Israel for high grocery prices.
- Stevens publicly criticized El-Sayed on Friday for not condemning the PAC advertisement, prompting El-Sayed to accuse her of "relitigating a primary that ended three months ago."
- The campaign requested Stevens forgo all future appearances through November 3 election to avoid distracting from central campaign issues, despite the event originally being scheduled to showcase party unity.
- Sunday's Detroit event will instead feature Representative Jim Clyburn and Senator Angela Alsobrooks; recent polling shows 94% of Democrats continue supporting El-Sayed despite the internal party tensions.
- With control of the Senate at stake, political science professor Matt Grossmann noted that voters have largely "mostly priced in" any reluctance by Stevens' supporters to back El-Sayed.
