Summary
Sunday’s planned Detroit church appearance between Haley Stevens and Abdul El-Sayed will go ahead only if he publicly disavows an online ad Stevens called antisemitic.
Stevens said she broke with El-Sayed after this month’s first Senate debate, where he declined to say whether Iran or Israel posed the greater threat to the United States.
The dispute has deepened since El-Sayed, who beat Stevens in the August Democratic primary, faced her increasingly public criticism despite their post-primary unity effort.
El-Sayed answered Friday with a blistering statement, saying Stevens was trying to relitigate a primary that ended 3 months ago as Democrats head into the final stretch of Michigan’s Senate race.
