Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI) took the gloves off this week in criticizing her progressive opponent Abdul El-Sayed as their Democratic Party primary for the U.S. Senate in Michigan enters its final days.
El-Sayed leads Stevens in the polls ahead of the August 4th vote, with many in the Democratic Party establishment voicing concern about El-Sayed’s electability in a state President Donald Trump won in 2024.
On Thursday night, Steven shared a clip of El-Sayed speaking with a YouTuber and saying, “You know when AIPAC watches this, come for me! See what happens, come for me! You picked [Haley Stevens], the least capable candidate in America.”
Stevens replied to the clip, “Abdul, we were both on the ballot in 2018. I was capable of winning my competitive primary and general election. You lost.”
“You lost by over twenty points to Gretchen Whitmer and you will lose to Mike Rogers by talking like this,” Stevens added, referring to Michigan’s Democratic governor who endorsed her in the race and the presumptive Republican nominee for the open Senate seat.
“Everyone in America understands you want to blame all of your problems on Jewish Americans,” Stevens continued, adding:
But buddy, let me be very clear, I will lower the costs of groceries, ban stock trading for elected officials, stop Trump’s abuses of power, and protect Michigan manufacturing.
And you’ll just be a celebrity whining and writing books to get even richer. You’re part of the complainer class, looking for their next book or podcast deal.
“Bro, I just want to work for Michigan,” she concluded.
