Slotkin, Peters urge fellow Democrats to help El-Sayed
The Michiganders are making a concerted play for party unity.
Democratic Sens. Elissa Slotkin and Gary Peters are urging their fellow Democrats to rally behind Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan's crucial Senate race, according to a source close to their plans. The two senators will address the Democratic Caucus during its first full meeting since August, calling for financial support and fundraising efforts to aid El-Sayed's campaign.
Peters and Slotkin will also encourage any remaining doubts about El-Sayed's candidacy to be addressed at a meet-and-greet event in Washington later this week. The duo emphasizes the importance of party unity in Michigan, given the tight race against former Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich., who has a potential spending advantage in the final stretch of the general election.
Slotkin previously stated that even if voters didn't support El-Sayed directly, they should still back the rest of the Democratic ticket in November.
