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.

    Yeah, I had to ask, because Stevens isn’t the candidate you’re voting for… So vote blue no matter who ™️/s doesn’t quite hit because she got primary’d.

    Which is WHY PEOPLE NEED TO VOTE IN THE PRIMARIES

    Whoops, too many caps this time
