Story summary

As of November 3, Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic nominee for Michigan’s Senate race, saw his campaign gain support from fellow Democrats as they rallied around him in the final hours before Election Day. This came amid an extraordinary intraparty rift following Rep. Haley Stevens' decision to endorse Republican candidate Mike Rogers two days earlier. Despite efforts by El-Sayed and other Democrats to distance themselves from Stevens, she released a nearly 900-word statement defending her endorsement as a personal choice not influenced by her fiancé, Jason Turkish. The public feud between El-Sayed and Stevens highlights deepening divisions within the Democratic Party ahead of critical midterm elections.
