Michigan Democrat Mallory McMorrow ends US Senate primary campaign

According to The Guardian, Michigan Democrat Mallory McMorrow has withdrawn from her US Senate primary campaign. Her exit sets up a straight fight between two candidates: Abdul El-Sayed, a progressive and former public health official, and Haley Stevens, a centrist congresswoman. They're competing for the seat being vacated by retiring Democrat Gary Peters—a prize Democrats view as critical. McMorrow's support had declined sharply in recent weeks as El-Sayed surged ahead. Michigan voters now face a clear choice between the party's progressive and establishment wings.
