Haley Stevens Slammed for Statement Suggesting She's Willing to Sabotage Midterms to Halt Progressive Surge | Common Dreams

With Michigan’s Senate race on a knife-edge, Haley Stevens is demanding Abdul El-Sayed apologize over Israel and condemn an ad he says he had no role in. Is party infighting handing Republicans an opening?

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.

      What makes you think this will harm her career? Israel breaks their careers, if they keep the faith with their devil boss they can get cushy jobs outside of politics if they have name recognition.
