Overview
- Delegates booed Rep. Haley Stevens over her pro-Israel stance during Sunday’s state Democratic convention in Detroit.
- State Sen. Mallory McMorrow met with the Arab American Democrats caucus, said she refuses AIPAC donations, and noted support from J Street, which backs ending the occupation.
- Abdul El-Sayed drew one of the warmest receptions from delegates, even as recent polls still show a close three-way race among El-Sayed, McMorrow, and Stevens.
- TIME reported that Sen. Chuck Schumer has signaled openness to backing McMorrow, and Stevens said that would not change her campaign plan.
- Republicans coalesce around former Rep. Mike Rogers and nonpartisan analysts rate the race a toss-up, raising the stakes for how Democrats’ stands on Israel and ties to groups like AIPAC or J Street play with Michigan’s large Jewish and Arab communities.
