Some Michigan Jewish Democrats disavow Stevens over endorsement of El-Sayed’s GOP rival
“I would rather debate our disagreements in a democratic institution than one that has been eroded by Trump and Rogers,” said Michigan congressional candidate Jeremy Moss.
Michigan Jewish Democrats have spoken out against Congresswoman Haley Stevens' endorsement of Republican candidate Mike Rogers for the state's open US Senate seat. Several prominent Jewish Democrats, including Jeremy Moss, Andy Levin, Mallory McMorrow, and Abbas Alawieh, denounced Stevens' endorsement, stating that it goes against their values and concerns.
Moss, who is running for the same House seat Stevens abandoned, emphasized that he would rather debate political disagreements in a democratic institution than one eroded by Trump and Rogers. Meanwhile, another Democrat, Hillary Scholten, appeared alongside rabbis to address a separate group of Jewish voters who are uncomfortable with El-Sayed's rhetoric on Israel.
Scholten, who has publicly criticized El-Sayed's views, urged her supporters to consider writing in "Emma Lazarus" as an alternative to voting for El-Sayed. The situation highlights the complex dilemma faced by many Michigan Jewish voters as they navigate the final days of the campaign, with some expressing their discontent with El-Sayed's statements on Israel and antisemitic acts.
