Story summary

As of October 31, 2026, Abdul El-Sayed and his former Democratic primary rival Rep. Haley Stevens, both competing in the Michigan Senate race, have engaged in a public feud over comments El-Sayed made about Israel's impact on Michigan’s economy and an antisemitic ad by Rebellion PAC. The dispute intensified just days before Election Day when Stevens demanded that El-Sayed apologize for linking Israeli policies to Michigan’s affordability issues. In response, El-Sayed accused Stevens of relitigating a primary contest that ended three months ago and questioned her focus on the upcoming election against Republican Mike Rogers, whom he labeled as "Trump's hand-picked candidate." The feud has strained their planned joint campaign event scheduled for Sunday in Detroit with influential Congressman Jim Clyburn.
