Mallory McMorrow suspends Senate campaign, Michigan primary now El-Sayed vs Haley Stevens
I am a huge Mallory McMorrow fan - and her decision to suspend her campaign is a testament to her character and commitment to the public interest. Abdul El-Sayed for Michigan! www.nytimes.com/2026/07/05/u...
Hedy Lamarr Stands with Ukraine🌻🌻🌻28100% all in for Abdul! The dem incumbent that Schumer wants-is kinda weird-I keep seeing her in ads & the ads are just weird. Plus, the more progressive we make the party the more to the left they'll shift-instead of moving to the right more & more & acting like GOP Lite.
Wendell Albright26I would've loved to see McMorrow win, but yep if she came to believe she couldn't win, great to see her be a team player.
HazeDZ18She needs to run for a different position is all. shes a fantastic candidate and needs to be in a position to make real changes.
Sergeant Swamp💙14I too supported Mallory and also believe it is the right decision. Trump & company love nothing more than division and I hope her reason is for the betterment of Michigan and this Country. Fighting among your "own" is the most destructive action.
Louise9When there was a clear winner coming up through the primaries it used to be that others would drop out and endorse so that the party could coalesce. We've lost that. I hope she endorses.
Valerie Stewart8I am a huge fan of Mallory McMorrow but I’m a bigger fan of getting foreign interests and corporate dollars out of our government. I truly hope she will endorse. She is a fantastic candidate for a future race.
BREAKING: Mallory McMorrow suspends her campaign for US Senate in Michigan. It is now a two person race between Dr. Abdul El-Sayed and Haley Stevens. El Sayed is funded by people, Working Families, & labor unions. Stevens is a corporate funded pro AIPAC pro Schumer puppet. Vote Abdul. Let’s go!✊🏽
Eberhard Tarpenning18Dr. El Sayed is an Obama admin alum and since then has worked tirelessly for the health of people in Michigan and for M4A. He'll be great in the Senate.
I love cake so much!8I like my puppets of the non Shumer variety. Go Dr. Go!
ElJeffo nature lover & budding Luddite.7No more AIPAC hostages! A definitive NO to their control of America!
4 Seasons Total Landscaping7I wouldn't vote for anyone Chuckles is promoting.
BlueRidgeHippy AKA Aunt Arctica 🥶6I love this guy. thanks for the reminder to toss some cash his way.
Hold My Beer ❌👑🐸🇲🇽🇨🇦3Aw, I don't know enough about this race but I really liked Mallory. She's young though. And a rising star. Vote blue straight ticket, don't care who. Lol
Notable — Haley Stevens makes no outreach to Mallory McMorrow supporters, while Abdul El-Sayed explicitly welcomes them to his movement:
noirtiervillefort.bsky.social26Such a bizarre parsing of this statement. Stevens said the normal gracious things you do when a candidate drops out. You could be a journalist and less of an agitprop practitioner once in a while.
D16Abdul El-Sayed has more charisma, talent, and work ethic than the stodgy Stevens. Hopefully, McMorrow skates to where the puck is going and endorses El-Sayed.
R. S. Martin7Here's Haley Stevens statement about McMorrow's withdrawal. Seems pretty gracious to me. - Anecdotally, the El-Sayed supporters are the same bullying asshole trolls they've always been. Dancing on the grave of McMorrow's campaign, and directing bend-the-knee snark at her supporters.
Laura Koerber5I saw a post from Steven about McMorrow and it was very kind and supportive and definitely outreach.
yourego🦅🦮4This is what I can't stand from us Democrats. Stop with the infighting. Whoever wins wins. Seriously, If we keep doing the infighting we won't win midterms. If Stevens wins then I'll vote for Stevens in the general elecfion. If Sayeed wins I'll vote for Sayeed. This is what every Democrat should do.
FessorFrink3She can be the Brad Lander to Sayed's Mamdani. Maybe something will come up where Sayed can help her in a different campaign down the line.
Aubrey Gilleran101I mean Stevens’ statement is pretty gracious and clearly trying to reach out to McMorrow supporters even if she doesn’t use those exact words. We don’t have to do this kind of parsing.
Sam Bagenstos20FWIW, even without this I would have predicted that a large chunk of Mallory voters would shift to Abdul once she dropped out.
Dana Houle9“To his movement” I thought it was a campaign…
Joe Stieb4Pretty bad faith reading, but you do you
Sysfin3El-Sayed has the juice. Steven's statement is the generic thing we expect after a primary competitor drops. Its fine, non-offensive, doesn't attack anyone or take shots. But El-Sayed's is specific and that reads better to me. It explicitly talks the emotions that her supporters have.
WorldPeaceForYou2We win w/: @abdulelsayed.bsky.social @pressley.house.gov @repsummerlee.bsky.social @vanhollen.senate.gov @mayor.nyc.gov @chrisrabb.com @hamawyfornj.bsky.social @darializaforny.bsky.social @melatkirosco.bsky.social @janeese4dc.bsky.social @coribush.bsky.social We lose w/ @rephaleystevens.bsky.social
Mallory McMorrow is out. SENATE standing: We have a lot of work to do. Republicans have billionaire donors and corporate money flooding their campaigns. Dems are going to have to do it the old-fashioned way: better messaging, better organizing, and earning every damn vote. 👀
Donna Sparklies15Actually instead of depressing you have a woman who saw her internal & external polling as well as donations and chose to drop out of a primary she wasn’t going to win. That’s courage, that’s integrity & I applaud her . Now time to volunteer for your remaining primary choice
PeriwinkleRose 💙🇺🇦10Man, that’s too bad. I liked her.
Zen Zinnia9There's a televised debate in MI tomorrow evening. Abdul will mop the floor with Stevens. She's horrible in a debate, just talking in circles and using a whole lot of words to say nothing.
JBlanchard9Oh no, she would be so good!
apollo175.bsky.social7"Better messaging." Basically we're cooked if we allow moderate Democrats to keep steering the ship.
Del Wasso4Welp, had they all been charged with seditious conspiracy back in 2021, LIKE THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN, we wouldn’t have to deal with this fascist nonsense. Looking at you DNC.
It is insanely frustrating that Abdul El-Sayed got asked about Hasan Piker during every media appearance but Mallory McMorrow was never asked "Doesn't hiring a woman who spent years trying to silence Andrew Cuomo's victims contradict the notion that you care about women?"
Marc with a K18She flat out said that both Israel and Palestine should both have Iron Domes. Hilariously unserious person.
LoboJoe4All Muslims are responsible for all other Muslims don't you know 🙄
moon1000.bsky.social2Mallory just dropped out of the race. So atleast she’s not in the way anymore.
meh333.bsky.social1She’s trying to elect him now so ixnay on the adeshay.
!! Mallory McMorrow drops out of the Michigan Senate primary, leaving a one-on-one contest between Abdul El-Sayed and Haley Stevens. This dramatically changes the dynamic of the race. A must-win seat for Democrats this fall.
quandia.bsky.social21If El-Sayed wins the primary and the general, it destroys the narrative that left candidates cannot win in general elections. He has been a far better campaigner than McMorrow.
Wabisabi. Progressive menopausal white woman from Michigan .6a choice between. " I dream of Israel" & owned by AIPAC & a corporate centerist Dem vs. I work for the people and want health care for all. not really a choice. Abdul El-Sayed for Senate!
ptayloredwards.bsky.social5As the quarter just closed, I wonder how McMorrow's fund-raising compared to El-Sayed and Stevens and if it might have precipitated the decision as mush as polling.
Mummified Yeti Hand3Mike Rogers lost his 2024 Senate race to Elissa Slotkin by less than 20,000 votes. Chose carefully, Michigan Democratic Party primary voters. Choose very carefully…
Dedicated Micros2Perhaps he can offset Fetterman's obsession with supporting Israel. It's time to get some people that will call out Israel for their genocide. Even though Hamas killed 1400 Israelis that doesn't give Israel an excuse to kill 60,000 Palestinians. If nothing else they should have quit at 1400.
Be prepared to see a bunch of establishment Dems who hadn't endorsed anyone in this race rush to endorse Stevens now. (Abdul El-Sayed is the obvious choice, but the establishment hates him)
Peter Labuza23looking forward to Cory Booker, who could not endorse in the nyc mayor's race because apparently nyc politics is not important to his state, to be actively campaigning throughout every part of the state
Dave "Glen" Pentez2We need a new establishment.
Joe Flynn1Is there anyone who is actually popular with voters who will endorse Stevens, though? Obama, maybe?
ghostthan.bsky.social1Do you think this affects Abdul’s chances? I feel like some deal was made to McMorrow to get her in line with Stevens because establishment is scared of Abdul. I’m cynical but it seems kinda not too far off base.
Michigan Democrat Mallory McMorrow suspended her campaign for the U.S. Senate on Sunday, transforming her party’s high-stakes nomination contest just a month before the primary.
johniwaniszek.bsky.social9I really sorry that did not work out. She is a fighting Democrat and a real firecracker.
CoffeeGuyKev6I mean... if I lived there, I would vote for Abdul. But, I really, really like McMorrow and hope to see her run again soon. She would be a great legislator!
bselena.bsky.social5Mallory McMorrow you Rock!! Will catch you next election you will be so ready!!!
Certified Letter3Too bad it didn’t work out. Fortunately for her, and us, she has a bright future.
The establishment is so afraid of progressives winning that they are trying to consolidate around one Ziocrat candidate, they are doing the same thing in Wisconsin with Sara Rodriguez. If you live in Michigan please support Abdul El-Sayed, lest Zionists win again. www.detroitnews.com/story/news/p...
Mallory McMorrow drops out of Michigan’s Democratic Senate primary www.cnn.com/2026/07/05/p...
Eric Columbus104Can any Michigan politics-knowers explain why McMorrow's campaign didn't take off? As the article notes, many (including me!) saw her as a rising star.
𝕋𝕙𝕖 ℍ𝕚𝕤𝕥𝕠𝕣𝕪 𝕠𝕗 ℂ𝕙𝕚𝕟𝕒 ℙ𝕠𝕕𝕔𝕒𝕤𝕥42Turns out the time-tested strategy-for-losing that Democrats so cherish - trying to split the baby & find the dead-center on any issue, in any race, no matter what - works like a charm, yet again...
Dana Houle24Too bad. I think she would have been the best senator, & I think she would have matched up best against Rogers.
Xenobrina3Did not even get to submit my absentee ballot before a candidate dropped out lol Anyway if you're in Michigan vote Al-Sayed!
