Mallory McMorrow Suspends U.S. Senate Campaign in Michigan

Mallory McMorrow announced on July 5, 2026, that she is suspending her campaign for the U.S. Senate. This decision leaves the Democratic primary as a two-way race between Rep. Haley Stevens and former Wayne County Health Department Director Abdul El-Sayed. McMorrow's name will remain on the ballot for the August 4 primary, as ballots have already been printed and distributed to absentee voters, according to Bridge Michigan. In a video posted on X, McMorrow did not specify her reasons for ending her campaign but expressed gratitude to her staff and supporters for their contributions, highlighting that her campaign was funded by small-dollar donations without corporate PAC money. She pledged to support the Democratic nominee who wins the primary against Mike Rogers in November, stating, "Whoever wins this primary on August 4th will have my full support." Following her announcement, Stevens praised McMorrow as an important voice for Michigan families and emphasized her own candidacy as the strongest to defeat Rogers. El-Sayed also commended McMorrow for her courage in challenging the political system, inviting her supporters to join his movement against big money in politics.
