  "account": "Michigan Democrat Haley Stevens, a former opponent of Abdul El-Sayed in the U.S. Senate primary, joined Republican Mike Rogers at a Detroit church service as tensions escalated between the two Democrats in the tightly contested Senate race. Stevens, critical of El-Sayed's comments about Israel, appeared alongside Rogers despite being uninvited to a joint event with El-Sayed. El-Sayed attended a separate service with prominent Michigan Democrats, but the public sparring has overshadowed efforts to unite the party. Debbie Dingell, who organized the joint appearance, pulled Stevens from the event due to the distraction it caused. The race for the seat held by retiring Democrat Gary Peters is crucial for Democrats to maintain control of the Senate.",
  "summary": "Stevens' show of support for President Donald Trump's endorsed candidate in the tightly contested race comes after she was uninvited to a joint event the same day with El-Sayed, who defeated the congresswoman by a slim margin in the August primary.",
