- Stevens wants El-Sayed to condemn an advert linking Israel aid to grocery costs.
- Rogers has praised Stevens’ criticism as he courts Democratic voters.

## Summary

Abdul El-Sayed and Haley Stevens have resumed their public feud days before Michigan’s Senate election, raising concerns about Democratic unity in a closely contested state. Stevens urged El-Sayed to condemn an advert that links US support for Israel with rising grocery prices, while he said the campaign should focus on defeating Republican Mike Rogers.

The advert, produced by commentator Cenk Uygur, includes a woman saying she cannot afford eggs because money was spent “killing Palestinians”; El-Sayed’s campaign says it neither made nor endorsed it. Stevens also called on him to address concerns about his past remarks. The two had planned a joint Detroit event with Congressman Jim Clyburn, but an El-Sayed campaign source later asked Stevens not to attend future events. Rogers praised Stevens’ criticism as he seeks support from Jewish Democratic voters.
