In the final days of the US Senate campaign in Michigan, Democratic candidate Abdul El-Sayed is leading in polls, winning praise for taking Donald Trump and his Republican opponent to task with incisive humor, and providing a clear closing message in evocative ads.
But his former Democratic primary opponent, Rep. Haley Stevens (D-Mich.), said Friday that while she reiterated this week her decision to support El-Sayed in next Tuesday’s election—a plan not shared by her fiancé, who publicly announced he would vote for Republican former Rep. Mike Rogers—she was demanding concessions from the Democratic candidate, in a statement that sought to tie him to a recent online ad by an outside group.
Y’all remember the week the media learned “excoriated”?
I really wish they would unlearn unprecedented.
Slammed. Slammed! SLAMMED! SLAMMED!
Ka-Pow’d even!
On the eve of the eve of the eve of our BIG and important election, a unifying moment has arrived, our democratic nominee for U.S Senate disavows the Rebellion PAC ad made by Hasan Piker’s uncle that claims Jews are responsible for America’s economic woes.
Sorry, Haley, but this strawman crap just isn’t going to work anymore. No one said “Jews are responsible for America’s economic woes.” What they did say is that Trump and Israel’s war on Iran has made prices for Americans go up, which is unequivocally true. Criticism of Israel is not necessarily antisemitism, it’s not going to work, you’re done.
Don’t underestimate the stupidity of the right. It could definitely work, because it has in the past.
“Well I couldn’t get what I wanted so I think I’ll do the cringiest thing imaginable and abandon my entire career”, the incredible true story.
No shit, she’s a neoliberal and she’s doing what every neoliberal would do.
That’s why she lost the primary. And why she’s willing to help Republicans win to stop progress.
This isnt “party infighting” she’s a sore loser who cares more about Israel than America. And in 3 months she won’t be an elected representative anymore.
This just in Karen is willing to burn down entire nation because a person of colour is doing well. In other news water is wet and the sky is blue.

Just rotten all the way through. I’m glad that this is even coming to light.
If these midterms lead to a series of progressive politicians and policy being passed I really hope the Trump voters realise they caused it, they could have kept the maniac out of office and continued with more center politicians but this choices might swing the country further left than they could have ever imagined
Haley Stevens accidentally going mask off. Her fellow Establishment Dems must be angry with her for giving away the game too early and too blatantly.
Where are the people who claimed it is the dsa that sabotage other democrats?
Busy defending a transphobic candidate in some other race probably
Maybe she realizes the only way she has a future in the Democrat party is if El-Sayed loses and centrists get to keep the “Only moderation can win swing states” narrative alive.
So what you’re saying is, she’s a traitor who should be forcibly ejected from the Democratic Party.
This is why we can’t have nice things
I’ll be surprised if it’s not arranged by AIPAC.
