Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel, a Democrat and one of the highest-ranking Jewish elected officials in the state, has publicly accused her own party of failing to adequately confront antisemitism, saying the state party is "absolutely not" doing enough to counter it. Her comments come ahead of the Michigan Democratic Party's convention, adding to growing tensions within the party over how it addresses antisemitism amid wider debates about Israel, Gaza and the direction of its progressive wing.

Nessel's remarks form part of a broader wave of internal Democratic friction reported by Fox News, including disputes involving figures such as Abdul El-Sayed, streamer Hasan Piker, Senator John Fetterman and commentator James Carville over how the party should handle antisemitism, far-left activism and calls to defund or abolish police and prisons. Nessel specifically raised concerns that the state party is allowing individuals accused of antisemitic views to participate in its convention, framing this as evidence of a wider reluctance among Democrats to take the issue seriously.
