Michigan state Sen. Mallory McMorrow suspended her campaign for the open U.S. Senate seat, leaving Haley Stevens and Abdul El-Sayed in the Democratic primary. McMorrow said she would remain politically active and urged changes within the Democratic Party.
McMorrow said in a social media video that she was ending her campaign, thanked its supporters and staff, and said she was “not leaving the fight.” Her name will remain on the Aug. 4 ballot, and she pledged to support the eventual Democratic nominee. She also renewed her call for new Democratic Party leadership.
The article describes the primary as a contest between U.S. Rep. Haley Stevens and Abdul El-Sayed; the winner will face Republican Mike Rogers in November for the seat being vacated by Sen. Gary Peters. Stevens praised McMorrow and said she would make her case to voters, while El-Sayed criticized party insiders and invited McMorrow’s supporters to join his campaign. Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel endorsed Stevens after McMorrow’s withdrawal.
