Abdul El-Sayed’s campaign asks Haley Stevens not to attend campaign events following clash over Israel

It appears that Rep. Haley Stevens, D-Mich., will no longer attend a campaign event she planned to join on Sunday alongside Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed following days of public feuding over their stances on Israel. An advisory for the gathering that the El-Sayed campaign sent Saturday did not list Stevens as a participant, only El-Sayed and Rep. Jim Clyburn, D-S.C. Stevens is being asked not to attend El-Sayed campaign events in the closing days because the campaign is concerned about distractions around her, a person familiar with the decision told NBC News. Politico was first to report that Stevens was no longer welcome at El-Sayed’s events. Stevens did not immediately respond to a phone call and text message seeking comment. She told The New York Times on Friday that she still planned to vote for El-Sayed, who beat her in an August Senate primary, despite his criticism.
