MI-SEN: Why Mallory McMorrow won't endorse a former rival in Senate primary
Lansing — State Sen. Mallory McMorrow said Wednesday she won't endorse in Michigan's heated Democratic U.S. Senate primary election after dropping out of the race over the weekend.
"I trust voters to decide and I'll support whoever is the nominee after Aug. 4," McMorrow of Royal Oak said, referring to the date of the primary.
Political observers had contended that McMorrow's decision on whether to intervene and whether to back former Wayne County health official Abdul El-Sayed of Ann Arbor or U.S. Rep. Haley Stevens of Birmingham might have been pivotal in what's expected to be a close election.
McMorrow, a second-term state senator, announced on Sunday she was ending her campaign for the Democratic U.S. Senate nomination, after falling in public polling behind El-Sayed, who's favored by Michigan progressives, and Stevens, a fourth-term congresswoman who's benefited from millions of dollars in TV advertising.
