Michigan is a key midterm election state. The Senate race pits Democrat Abdul El-Sayed against Republican Mike Rogers.
Michigan is preparing to become one of the most delicate terrains of the Democratic game in view of the midterm elections in the United States. At the center is the clash between the two dem candidates Abdul El-Sayed and Haley Stevens. The tension exploded in the last few hours, when Stevens made a surprise appearance in a church during a rally of Michigan Senate Republican Mike Rogers. A gesture that marked a public break with the progressive candidate who had defeated her in the primaries. “I'm voting for Mike Rogers, I'm voting for my country,” Stevens said, explaining that she was not welcome in El-Sayed's campaign. "This is huge news," Donald Trump said. Now, the challenge between Rogers and El-Sayed is crucial for the balance of the Senate.
The wrath of the dems: “Despicable betrayal”
The reaction from Democrats after Stevens' announcement was harsh. The Democratic leader in the Senate, Chuck Schumer, spoke of a "despicable betrayal", recalling that the party is "united" in support of El-Sayed. Calling the race in Michigan "decisive" to win control of the Senate, the leader of the Democrats in the House Hakeem Jeffries urged voters to vote for El-Sayed. The president of the Democratic National Committee was also critical, calling the breach a "betrayal" and a "last-minute political maneuver".
Trump: “Stevens is brave, I would like her to join the Republicans”
“Her following is vast and the esteem she enjoys among the inhabitants of Michigan - particularly within our African-American and Jewish communities - is practically unmatched", added the tycoon, reiterating that "Haley had the courage to say what few dare to say, with this gesture she demonstrated great, almost unprecedented loyalty to the great people of Michigan". According to Trump, it is about "courage, a skill that few possess". “I would like” to see Michigan Democrat Haley Stevens “join” the Republican party. Donald Trump said this during a rally in Iowa after the congresswoman turned her back on the Democratic candidate Abdul El-Sayed and supported the Republican Mike Rogers.
Democrats ahead
According to a New York Times-Siena poll, Democrats are ahead of Republicans in nearly all seven states that will decide the balance of power in the Senate. El-Sayed in Michigan would be ahead with 53% compared to Mike Rogers' 42%. According to the data, liberals would have large advantages in Texas and Kansas, states that have not elected a Democrat to the Senate since 1988 and 1932. Meanwhile, after the announcement of Stevens' split, El-Sayed raised 1.2 million dollars in the last few hours.
