It's called asymmetry.
Replying to @Malinowski
Demanding that a Democratic candidate condemn unelected antisemitic influencers who'd backed him, without also asking the GOP candidate to condemn explicitly racist and antisemitic statements made by actual elected leaders in his party who are currently campaigning for him. 4/

incredible backfire…. in the last 4 hours Haley Stevens has single-handedly united the entire Dem Party behind Abdul El-Sayed

Last batch of NYT/Sienna polls are out. Bleak picture for Republicans. Not sure Stevens endorsement will be enough

Andy Levin reminds people that Stevens beat him in 2022 by arguing that as a pro-choice woman, she was right for the Dobbs moment. Four years later she’s on the other side of that issue.
Haley Stevens and I came into Congress together in the Blue Wave of 2018, and sadly, we fought a bruising primary in 2022 after redistricting. 1/5

Michigan really dodged a bullet here. She would have been a troll-shaped Fetterman or a Sinema always holding legislation hostage to her ego.

What type is she? This type.
Haley Stevens had a “bizarre obsession” with Mallory McMorrow, per a source familiar with the inner workings of Stevens’ Senate campaign: “Nearly every thing Mallory said or did caused some sort of break down from Haley…Even after Mallory dropped out of the race, she and her fiance wanted to continue to attack McMorrow” “On the day Mallory dropped out, Haley refused to call her. Instead, staff drafted a text for Haley to send to her. Haley still refused to send it, despite telling staff she was going to, and only sent it after a journalist from Politico reported that Haley had not reached out to Mallory yet.” “There was a video that Haley attempted to film saying that Mallory had run a great race and encouraging Mallory’s supporters to vote for her, which ended up being scrapped because Haley sounded so insincere when praising McMorrow and her campaign.”

Mike Rogers will be another rubber stamp for Donald Trump’s dangerous agenda. We can’t afford to give MAGA another Senate seat in November. #MISEN

Just talked to voters at an early voting center in Detroit. No one I spoke to had any knowledge of what Rep. Haley Stevens and her fiancé are saying.

I’m sure the New York Times will be all over this
Massive midterm con in the super-close Nevada gov race — GOP is propping up third-party spoiler candidate Danielle Ford to siphon votes from surging Dem candidate, @AaronDFordNV. They’re falsely implying she’s endorsed by AOC in mailers and Snapchat ads. thenevadaindependent.com/art…

As I report in my switching publications - the ANES panel data has always shown this to be true! True for even August primary, and it is worse for GOP vs. Dems. 80% of MI Republicans claim they voted James, he only won with 50% of the vote.
If the polls are UNDERSTATING the Democrats, this is a possible explanation
