McMorrow Suspends Senate Bid in Democrats’ Heated Michigan Primary
The New York Times • • general
Key Points:
- Michigan state senator Mallory McMorrow suspended her U.S. Senate campaign due to poor polling and fundraising struggles compared to her main rivals.
- Her exit narrows the Democratic Senate primary to a contest between moderate Haley Stevens and progressive Abdul El-Sayed.
- Stevens is supported by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and pro-Israel groups, while El-Sayed has endorsements from Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
- McMorrow did not endorse either candidate but pledged to support the eventual primary winner.
- She had positioned herself as a middle-ground candidate, arguing against the binary choice between establishment and progressive options in the race.
