El-Sayed and Stevens to campaign together as Michigan Democrats seek unity
Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed and Rep. Haley Stevens will appear together Sunday at a Detroit church. It is their first joint appearance since days after the Aug 4 primary, which El-Sayed won narrowly.
Divisions showed this week when Stevens' fiancé said he would vote for Republican Mike Rogers. Stevens said she will vote for El-Sayed but urged him to "shut out the hate and call it out".
Primary ad spending against El-Sayed
$60 million nearly, in attack ads
Nearly $60 million was spent on ads attacking El-Sayed in the primary, including $30 million from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.
And us?
Michigan has deep economic ties to Canada, which Trump has targeted with tariffs. Rogers appeared with Trump at a rally in Port Huron, just across the river from Canada.
