## Key points

- El-Sayed’s campaign asked Stevens to avoid upcoming events.
- A disputed advert linking Israel and grocery prices fuelled the split.
- Stevens’s invitation to the Detroit rally reportedly remains open.

## Summary

Abdul El-Sayed’s campaign has asked Michigan Representative Haley Stevens to stay away from a planned church rally and other campaign events, deepening a rift between the Democratic Senate nominee and his former primary rival. The dispute matters because it has disrupted a public show of party unity just days before the midterm election.

The row centres on a one-minute advert by Rebellion PAC that links US support for Israel to rising grocery costs, including a reference to money being spent “killing Palestinians”. El-Sayed said he disagreed with the advert and that his campaign did not make or endorse it; Stevens called its claims about Israel and Jews vile and urged him to condemn it. Stevens’s fiancé said he would vote for Republican Mike Rogers, while an adviser to Congressman Jim Clyburn said Stevens’s invitation to Sunday’s Detroit event still stood.
