El-Sayed and Stevens feud flares days before Michigan Senate race

Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed and Rep. Haley Stevens are feuding days before Michigan's midterm election, ahead of a planned joint appearance Sunday that would be their first since an Aug. 4 primary unity breakfast.⁠[5, 22] Stevens said in a statement on X that she would join the event but demanded El-Sayed apologize for comments about Israel and disavow an ad she sees as antisemitic.⁠[9, 22] The dispute centers on an advertisement attacking U.S. aid to Israel run by Rebellion PAC, according to the Washington Examiner.⁠[31]

El-Sayed accused Stevens of being "intent on relitigating" their bitter primary contest as he urged unity against his GOP rival.⁠[12, 14] Politico reported that the El-Sayed campaign wants Stevens to stay away after a day of back-and-forth sniping.⁠[21] Some Democrats worry the blowup is imperiling their hold on the seat, Politico reported, and other Michigan Democrats have been drawn into the tensions, according to NBC News.⁠[18, 21]

Why it matters The El-Sayed campaign has asked Stevens not to attend the planned joint event, and some Democrats worry the rift imperils their hold on the Senate seat.⁠[21]
