NEW: @nannburke sits down with @HaleyforMI —>> “I asked (El-Sayed) to condemn disgusting antisemitism ... very politely, very respectfully. And it made him so mad that we couldn't all just get together in the way that community gets together. And that's that."
BREAKING AND EXCLUSIVE from @nannburke: Democratic Rep. Haley Stevens told The Detroit News: "I would have been living a lie to a lot of people and in community" by backing Abdul El-Sayed. 🔗 More on what she told us here: detne.ws/3UWXmAC

Jack Campbell and Jimmy Rolder are both being treated for what appear to be serious injuries. Rolder was smacking the ground in pain and remained face down for several minutes before being helped off. They're bringing the cart out for Campbell, who is motionless on his back.

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

Pastor Winans shouted out Rogers and asked if El-Sayed was in attendance. He wasn’t. The crowd could be heard applauding El-Sayed’s name. “Ya’ll clapping? He ain’t even here,” Winans said. detroitnews.com/story/news/p…

A reporter just asked Trump about the removal of Lt. Gen. Brett Sylvia, but referred to him only as "Lt. Gen. Sylvia." "She’s got problems," Trump said. "She’s gonna have big problems. We’re very much looking for leakers"

Total spending (including primary) on Michigan's U.S. Senate race now exceeds $400M, per FEC filings. This easily shatters the previous record for a statewide contest in Michigan.
