US-Zwischenwahlen: Kurz vor den Midterms: Zwist bei den Demokraten in Michigan
In Michigan hat sich eine Demokratin überraschend für den republikanischen Kandidaten für einen US-Senatssitz ausgesprochen. Der Fall schlägt hohe Wellen - und Präsident Trump freut sich.
In the days leading up to the US midterm elections, tensions are rising between Democrats in Michigan as their Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed faces backlash from his former rival, Haley Stevens. Stevens, who narrowly lost to El-Sayed in the state's primary in August, appeared together with Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers at a church in Detroit on Sunday. Earlier, Stevens had been invited to participate in a joint event with El-Sayed.
Stevens has criticized El-Sayed's statements regarding Israel, expressing concern over his efforts to address the worries of the Jewish community. Her partner recently announced that he will vote for the Republican candidate, Rogers, in the upcoming congressional elections against El-Sayed. El-Sayed allegedly did not do enough to alleviate these concerns, Stevens claimed in a statement on Friday.
Stevens urged El-Sayed to condemn election propaganda from an independent left-wing group that blamed high food prices on US support for Israel. El-Sayed confirmed on Saturday evening (local time) that the advertisement did not come from his campaign team. He stated, "I do not agree with the content of this advertisement."
