What happened

Michigan state Sen. Mallory McMorrow suspended her campaign for the U.S. Senate on Sunday, leaving Rep. Haley Stevens and former Wayne County Health Department Director Abdul El-Sayed as the major candidates in Michigan’s Democratic primary. The Aug. 4 primary will select the Democratic nominee for the seat being vacated by retiring Sen. Gary Peters, a race Democrats are trying to hold in the battle for Senate control. McMorrow did not endorse either remaining candidate and said she was “not leaving the fight.”
