Story summary

Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic nominee for Michigan's U.S. Senate race, and his former primary opponent Haley Stevens clashed publicly days before a scheduled campaign event in Detroit on October 31, 2026. Their feud intensified when Stevens demanded that El-Sayed disavow a controversial "anti-Israel" TV ad as a precondition for appearing at the rally together. As of November 2, 2026, El-Sayed's campaign asked Stevens to stay away from his events, citing distractions. This public rift highlights tensions within Michigan’s Democratic party, with some Democrats like Stevens criticizing El-Sayad for perceived antisemitism and support for controversial figures, while others remain loyal despite these concerns. The conflict has raised questions about unity in the run-up to crucial midterm elections.
