Overview
Michigan state Sen. Mallory McMorrow defended roughly 6,000 deleted social media posts after an investigation surfaced them.
The resurfaced posts have intensified scrutiny in the competitive Democratic primary to succeed retiring Sen. Gary Peters, with the primary slated for Aug. 4.
Primary opponent Rep. Haley Stevens said the posts were "a little tacky" and "very out of touch," while rival Abdul El‑Sayed said he also removed old controversial posts and clarified his positions.
Polling aggregates show Abdul El‑Sayed leading at 23%, McMorrow at 20.7% and Stevens at 20.3%, and McMorrow's deleted posts number roughly 6,000.
McMorrow said she deleted posts dating to 2021, defended prior comparisons of the Trump administration to Nazi Germany, and faces potential general election scrutiny against likely GOP nominee Mike Rogers.
