As RedState reported, the Michigan Democrat Senate primary has had some interesting developments over the last week, with perhaps the most notable one being that one of the three candidates, state Sen. Mallory McMorrow, suspended her campaign. She didn't endorse either of the remaining two, Rep. Haley Stevens (MI-11) and former Wayne County health director Abdul El-Sayed, stating that "Whoever wins this primary on Aug. 4 will have my full support." Another notable moment came when CNN, of all places, fact-checked a wildly false claim El-Sayed made about how he did not support defunding the police, while suggesting old tweets...

El-Sayed leads Stevens in the Democratic primary, while Rogers remains within the margin of error against all three tested Democrats.Michigan’s 2026 U.S. Senate race begins as one of the clearest tests of the midterm map. Democratic incumbent Gary Peters is not seeking another term, creating an open-seat contest in a state Donald Trump carried in 2024. It is also the only open Democratic-held Senate seat up in a Trump-won state, making Michigan one of the central battlegrounds for Senate control. (See crosstabs and technical report here). Our latest Quantus Insights survey of 947 Michigan voters finds the general election highly...

Michigan state Senator Mallory McMorrow has dropped out of the U.S. Senate campaign, according to a report from the Detroit News. Democrat voters in Michigan must choose between socialist Abdul El-Sayed and U.S. Democrat Rep. Haley Stevens (MI-11) to fill the U.S. Senate seat. Whoever voters choose is expected to face off against Republican candidate Mike Rogers in November.

Michigan Democrat Mallory McMorrow, a candidate running for US Senate, deleted thousands of tweets, some of which defended “coastal elites” and were critical of “Middle America,” after The Post first reported on them last year. Morrow, 39, purged her X account of roughly 6,000 posts, including all her tweets posted prior to 2020, CNN’s Andrew Kaczynski reported on Wednesday. The journalist noted the social media cleanse came after The Post’s April 2025 scoop on McMorrow’s tweet history. The deleted posts even included jabs at the purple state she is now running to represent. “Aaaand it’s snowing. Screw you, Michigan. #NYCtoLA,”...

As Michigan Democrats enter the thick of a competitive Senate primary campaign, one candidate is trying to position himself as an outsider who wants to fix a broken system and take on the oligarchy. Dr. Abdul El-Sayed is a Bernie Sanders-endorsed former public health director who has been compared to New York City’s recently elected democratic socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani. He wants Medicare for all, believes big corporations are to blame for the problems in government and the economy, and insists that Immigration and Customs Enforcement must be abolished. But El-Sayed doesn’t want to be labeled a leftist or a...

VIDEOMallory McMorrow, a Democrat politician who is running for the U.S. Senate from Michigan, put on her Sherlock Holmes cap and ASKED No Kings protestors if they were getting paid. Surprise! Surprise! They all DENIED it. Case closed! How can they possibly be paid if they all deny it? Don't laugh because McMorrow believes you are STUPID enough to fall for this "proof."Hey OJ! Did you kill your wife? No? Okay, that proves he was innocent!You know who else would deny she was being paid if you asked her? The last No Kings protestor in this video. However, she pretty...

FIRST ON FOX — A sign featuring coded language threatening President Donald Trump and equating his supporters with Nazis greeted guests to an event last week headlined by Michigan Democrat gubernatorial front-runner Jocelyn Benson and U.S. Senate candidate Mallory McMorrow. The sign, displayed by local Democrats, said "MAGA=NAZI" and "86 47." The number "86" originated in restaurants to mean "cancel" or "throw out," but in underworld slang it is frequently used as a call sign for murdering someone. The number "47" is commonly interpreted as denoting the 47th president of the United States, Trump. Recently, when Trump foe James Comey...

Republican Sen. Tim Scott's goal in next year's midterm elections is not only to defend the GOP's 53-47 margin in the Senate, but to expand the majority. Scott, the conservative senator from South Carolina, told Fox News Digital soon after taking over late last year as chair of the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) that he aimed to increase the GOP's control in the chamber to at least 55 seats. And he's standing by his goal. "The bottom line is, I believe that we can defend our current seats while adding at least two more seats to our numbers," the...

Bayer explained her push by claiming armed citizens served the role of “intimidation” against lawmakers, making it difficult for some to support certain pieces of legislation. Michigan Senate Democrats in the Judiciary Committee passed bills Thursday that will ban bump stocks and require serialization on so-called “ghost guns.”

Kamala Harris has strong ties to U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Matthew Graves and his activist wife. Which is why a Harris Department of Justice could be more dangerous than Biden's DOJ. Democrats ended their four-day convention on Thursday with a vacuous speech by the party’s installed candidate, Kamala Harris. Her short stint on the main stage made the regime media, which has blessed her with 84 percent positive news coverage since the Pelosi coup according to one analysis, drunk with joy. Harris, like the roster of speakers before her, spent most of the speech demonizing her general...

Michigan's Senate on Thursday approved a petition that repeals Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s emergency powers, with another approval expected by the state’s lower chamber. Whitmer, a Democrat, cannot veto the petition. The Michigan Senate’s 20-15 vote came two days after the Board of State Canvassers certified the petition, which was started by a group called Unlock Michigan that gathered over 340,000 signatures. The board deadlocked 2-2 in April but voted 3-0 this time around. The petition took aim at the 1945 Emergency Powers Act that enabled Whitmer to impose harsh restrictions on state residents during the COVID-19 pandemic. Republicans on the...
