Michigan Democratic Senate hopeful Abdul el Sayed pushes back on Haley Stevens

Democratic Senate nominee Abdul el Sayed in Michigan has said that rival Haley Stevens is attempting to “re‑litigate” a primary that concluded three months ago.

Primary tensions continue

El Sayed characterised Stevens’ actions as an effort to corner him on the issue of Israel, suggesting she is trying to revive a contest that voters have already decided.

In a separate race, Democratic candidate James Talarico in Texas criticised Republican opponent Ken Paxton for cancelling several of his final campaign rallies ahead of the midterm election. Talarico accused Paxton of hoping that billionaire Elon Musk would fund his campaign, referencing recent donations to Paxton.

The comments from both el Sayed and Talarico highlight ongoing intra‑party disputes as candidates seek to consolidate support ahead of upcoming elections.
