Haley Stevens’ Fiancé Escalates El-Sayed Feud Days Before Midterms
The feud comes at a critical moment in Michigan’s Senate race, one of the contests that could determine control of the chamber.
Days before Michigan's midterms, the feud between former Senate candidate Haley Stevens and Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed escalated, with Stevens' fiancé Jason Turkish accusing El-Sayed of making Jewish people unsafe. The dispute centers around an advertisement produced by Rebellion PAC that links U.S. spending on Israel to higher costs for Michigan residents.
Stevens called the ad "antisemitic" and urged El-Sayed to condemn it, while Turkish, a civil rights attorney, warned that the rhetoric is endangering Jewish people. El-Sayed has distanced himself from the ad, which was not approved or produced by him, and has stated that his focus is on opposing Trump's agenda. Stevens still supports El-Sayed but is voting for Republican Mike Rogers, stating that "Israel" should not be the reason for high costs in Michigan.
