## Resource

State Senator Mallory McMorrow has dropped out of Michigan’s U.S. Senate race, leaving Haley Stevens and Abdul El-Sayed as the final two Democrats vying for the nomination with just 30 days until the August 4 primary. McMorrow, who ran without corporate PAC money, praised her team and supporters in her exit announcement. Stevens, backed by establishment figures including Attorney General Dana Nessel, welcomed her departure with respect and openness to future collaboration. El-Sayed seized the moment to rally McMorrow’s base, framing the race as a fight against party insiders and championing campaign finance reform and universal healthcare. Analysts debate whether Stevens gains strategic advantage or if El-Sayed’s momentum and progressive message will prevail — especially as voters feel energized. The winner will face Republican Mike Rogers in November, in a race the GOP sees as a progressive showdown over housing and affordability.
