> Michigan Representative Haley Stevens is backing Abdul El-Sayed after narrowly losing the Democratic Senate primary to him. Stevens says she is prepared to support the Democratic ticket ahead of the November election. She acknowledges that the two candidates differ on policy, but argues Democrats must unite.
