Democrat Abdul El-Sayed’s former opponent in the Michigan Senate primary, Haley Stevens, is appearing with Republican candidate Mike Rogers at a Detroit church after intraparty tensions have boiled over days before the election.

The appearance comes after the congresswoman was uninvited to a joint event Sunday with El-Sayed, who defeated her by a slim margin in the August primary.

Stevens has been critical of El-Sayed’s comments surrounding Israel. Her fiance said last week he was voting for Rogers, claiming El-Sayed had not done enough to address concerns of the Jewish community.

    I have to say, as a very selfish European looking for entertainment (and outright ignoring the larger geopolitical effects), US politics keep not disappointing. The pettiness and self-sabotage is just… brilliant.

    (From the outside. I’m very aware that it fucking sucks from the inside.)
