Gretchen Whitmer Endorses Haley Stevens in Competitive Senate Primary

  • Governor Gretchen Whitmer endorsed Rep. Haley Stevens for the U.S. Senate ahead of the Democratic primary on August 4.
  • Stevens is seen as a centrist candidate, competing against progressive Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, with both considered front-runners as early voting begins.
  • Whitmer's support, along with backing from Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer, could enhance Stevens' appeal to undecided voters.
