Haley Stevens advised to stay away from Abdul El-Sayed campaign events to limit ‘distractions’

Key Points:

Abdul El-Sayed, Democratic nominee for Michigan’s US Senate race, has asked fellow Democrat Haley Stevens to avoid his campaign events to prevent distractions amid their public tensions.
The two had planned to campaign together but canceled after concerns from Representative Debbie Dingell about the negative impact of their feud.
El-Sayed and Stevens, who have ideological differences and a contentious primary history, have publicly criticized each other, with Stevens’ fiancé supporting the Republican opponent.
Stevens recently demanded El-Sayed denounce an ad linking higher prices to US support for Israel, which El-Sayed rejected, urging focus on defeating the Republican candidate and progressive priorities.
Democrats worry that the public dispute could undermine their efforts to win this crucial Senate seat and regain control of the Senate.
