Story summary

Ahead of Michigan's Senate race, Abdul El-Sayed and his former rival Rep. Haley Stevens, both Democrats, engaged in a public feud that escalated just days before the midterm elections on November 7, 2026. The conflict intensified after El-Sayed declined to condemn an advertisement linking U.S. support for Israel to rising grocery prices, leading Stevens to withdraw her endorsement and urge voters to support Republican Mike Rogers instead. This move brought Jewish voter concerns into focus as the election approached. El-Sayed's campaign subsequently disinvited Stevens from upcoming events, citing a need to avoid distractions. The feud highlights divisions within the Democratic party over progressive policies and endorsements in crucial swing states.
