Whitmer's Endorsement: A Calculated Gamble in Michigan's Senate Primary Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer has endorsed Representative Haley Stevens over former public health official Abdul El Sayed in the contentious Democratic Senate primary.
This move is not surprising, given Whitmer's popularity among voters and her stated goal of getting things done for Michiganders.
Whitmer's decision to wade into this contest reflects growing unease within Democratic circles about El Sayed's left wing platform and his ability to appeal to moderate voters.
