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.
Keep voting progressives in Dem primaries to replace Democrat old guards, and there will be no need for headlines about party split and the thought terminating cliché “vote blue no matter who”.
Fuck centrist Democrats. They’re part of the reason that the US and the world are in this mess.
Yeah, that’s the plan for the time being. We’ll see what comes of it, but I suspect the old guard won’t go down quietly, and I find it helpful to point out their hypocrisy, particularly in a case like this. Stevens would clearly rather see the Dems lose than to win it with a progressive that hasn’t compromised with them on positions where the old guard are completely out of touch with the broader voting public and morality.
