State Sen. Mallory McMorrow says she won’t endorse either Democrat in Michigan’s U.S. Senate primary and will back the eventual nominee after Aug. 4, after dropping out of the race; her withdrawal comes as El-Sayed and Stevens vie for support, and both have spoken with her since the decision. Her name will still appear on the ballot because ballots were already printed.
State Sen. Mallory McMorrow dropped out of the Michigan Democratic Senate primary, narrowing the field to Rep. Haley Stevens and Abdul El-Sayed. McMorrow did not offer a reason for suspending her campaign or endorse a candidate, saying she’ll back the winner. The race has been a proxy fight between establishment and progressive wings and is pivotal for Democrats’ Senate control this fall.
Mallory McMorrow ended her bid in Michigan’s Democratic Senate primary, leaving Abdul El-Sayed (progressive) and Haley Stevens (establishment) to vie for the nomination to replace Gary Peters. El-Sayed holds leading endorsements from Sanders and AOC, while Stevens is backed by Senate Democratic Leader Schumer and significant outside spending. McMorrow’s criticism of El-Sayed over campaigning with Hasan Piker coincided with a drop in her polling, paving the way for a left-versus-centrist contest that will shape the November race against Republican Mike Rogers.
ModSquad, a coalition backing several moderate Senate Democrats, endorsed Rep. Haley Stevens in Michigan's Democratic Senate primary, underscoring a divide within the party between Stevens's establishment backing and progressives Mallory McMorrow and Abdul El-Sayed. With Sen. Gary Peters retiring, Stevens is seen as the leadership-backed choice as the party competes to hold the seat in November.
