McMorrow Drops Out as Senate Race Tightens | Lansing News

Michigan’s Senate race just got wilder as Senator Mallory McMorrow drops out of the Democratic primary, leaving Abdul El-Sayed and Haley Stevens as the final two contenders with just four weeks until the August 4th vote. McMorrow, who raised over $8.6 million and was the first major Democrat to enter the race, cited outside money as a barrier to her vision of blending El-Sayed’s progressive edge with Stevens’ establishment backing. Though she’s still on the ballot and may yet endorse one of the remaining candidates, her exit shifts momentum — El-Sayed now leads in polls, while Stevens faces scrutiny over pro-Israel ties and establishment support. With absentee ballots already mailed and a Republican opponent in Mike Rogers, Democrats are racing to unite behind one of their two remaining hopefuls.
