Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) stated that Democrats will support the winner of the Michigan Senate Democratic primary, regardless of her endorsement of progressive candidate Abdul el Sayed. El Sayed is competing against Ocasio-Cortez's colleague, Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI), in the primary scheduled for August 4. Ocasio-Cortez emphasized the importance of party unity in the upcoming elections and clarified that her support for el Sayed does not imply a desire for Stevens to lose. She stated, "Whoever wins this primary, we are forcefully supporting, no matter what." El Sayed has focused his campaign on rejecting corporate PAC money, a point he has used to differentiate himself from Stevens. He recently received an endorsement from Senator Tina Smith (D-MN), joining support from other prominent progressive senators such as Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Elizabeth Warren (D-MA).
