Democratic leaders are circling the wagons around Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI) against her left-wing opponent, Abdul el Sayed.

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has endorsed Rep. Haley Stevens in the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate over progressive Abdul El-Sayed.

Whitmer had expressed concerns about the “rhetoric” in the race between Stevens, a House member, and former public health official Abdul El-Sayed.
