GOP Senate nominee Mike Rogers seized on the fractured Democratic dynamic, suggesting Rep. Stevens should campaign with him.

Feuding Democratic Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed and Rep. Haley Stevens were scheduled to make their first joint campaign appearance since August this weekend.

Instead, their rift grew uglier, with El-Sayed’s campaign telling Stevens to stay away in the waning days of the state’s pivotal race, a Democratic source familiar with the matter confirmed to MS NOW Saturday.

The source requested anonymity to discuss information the individual was not authorized to disclose. Politico was first to report on the flaring public tensions between El-Sayed and Stevens.

    Yep, that’s her. I think if the Democratic party has any chance of being saved, it needs to have some sort of disciplinary measures to hold accountable people who campaign as Democrats, then seem to turn into nothing more than a source of obstruction for the party platform and to attack other Democratic candidates. You don’t want to completely shut down discussion and dissent, but there need to be methods to hold politicians accountable when they repeatedly do this.
