Rep. Haley Stevens called Abdul El-Sayed to concede in the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate in Michigan on Wednesday morning, according to El-Sayed's campaign. The Associated Press has not yet called the race.

Detroit, protect yourself and your loved ones. Wearing a mask can help reduce the spread of respiratory illnesses and protect those who are most vulnerable in our community. To help you stay safe, the Detroit Health Department is offering FREE MASKS while supplies last.

Ads that give the impression Obama is supporting Haley Stevens for Senate pull a clip is from 2018. At the time, Obama was visiting Detroit to boost a slate of Michigan Democrats during the first Trump midterm. pbs.org/newshour/politics/wa…

Morning doom scroll interrupted an AIPAC funded ad labeling Abdul El-Sayed as a misogynist with some pretty weak examples. Google's ad tracker shows it's run on devices roughly 8 million times in the last week. freep.com/story/news/politic…

New ad claiming El-Sayed disrespected women stretches its facts

Several of the claims made by an AIPAC-aligned group beg credulity.

what I really mean to say is I’m embarrassed I didn’t push harder on this point as a reporter covering it at the time, should have focused more on the timeline being proposed vs guaranteed in hindsight

By now, 8 of the 10 projects were to be underway or finished. Just 1 is. freep.com/story/money/busine…

3 years after approval, only 1 District Detroit project is underway

Eight of the 10 projects in the $1.5 billion District Detroit development were to be underway or finished by now. Only one project is.
