Michigan Democrats want to fight Trump. First they have to stop fighting each other
Party leaders say economic messaging is being overshadowed as disputes over Israel and Hasan Piker keep dividing Democrats before November.
- Michigan Democrats, aiming to address economic concerns under President Donald Trump, face internal friction as they attempt to shift focus toward Republican Mike Rogers. Disputes over Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed complicate the party's election strategy.
- Internal divisions deepened following a bruising primary that El-Sayed won earlier this month. His campaign trail appearances with streamer Hasan Piker, who once claimed America "deserved 9/11", sparked backlash.
- New Jersey Rep. Josh Gottheimer refused to support the nominee, while Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel criticized El-Sayed, saying he should not "make excuses" for domestic terrorism. U.S. Rep. Jamie Raskin described the tension as a "process that we go through."
- Ahead of the upcoming convention in Lansing, party chair Curtis Hertel and nominees warned that "disruptive behavior or harassment of any kind will not be tolerated." Democratic Rep. Debbie Dingell urged members to move beyond the Piker controversy.
- Party leaders believe economic concerns provide an opening to win control of Congress, yet persistent divisions hinder their ability to maintain that focus. With the election approaching, Democrats struggle to reconcile internal disagreements.
