Former Vice President Kamala Harris campaigned in Michigan for Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed, who described her visit as an effort to unite Democrats. Their appearance comes amid disagreements over Israel policy and a Senate race that could affect control of the chamber.
Harris campaigned for El-Sayed, appearing with him at a Detroit roundtable on Black maternal mortality and speaking at an NAACP forum. At the forum, she urged Democrats to vote despite disagreements within the party and called the midterms a potential “stopgap” during President Donald Trump’s second term.
El-Sayed said Harris’s visit demonstrated unity and could help bring his coalition together. The article describes lingering disagreements over U.S. policy toward Israel and Gaza, and pressure on El-Sayed to attract Black and Jewish voters. Rogers’ campaign criticized Harris’s visit, while Democratic fundraiser Barry Goodman described uncertainty among some Jewish Democrats about the race.
