Top House Democrat Clyburn stumping for unity around El-Sayed
The South Carolina Democrat is heading to Michigan this weekend for a rally in support of Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed.
South Carolina Representative Jim Clyburn is making the trip to Michigan this weekend to rally Democrats behind Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, according to his political adviser Antjuan Seawright. In Michigan, Democrats are seeking unity and the participation of Black voters as they face concerns about Republican Senate nominee Mike Rogers potentially weakening the party's support among Black voters.
Clyburn, who previously backed Rep. Haley Stevens in the intense Senate primary, has also campaigned with her in the final days. The race has been further complicated by the decision of Stevens' fiancé to support Rogers, a move influenced by disagreements on Israel within the Democratic ranks. Despite this, Stevens has shown a cautious level of support for El-Sayed.
Additionally, Clyburn will be campaigning in Mississippi on Thursday and Minnesota on Friday, as reported by Seawright.
