Michigan State Senator Mallory McMorrow officially ended her campaign for the U.S. Senate on Sunday, July 5, 2026. According to reporting by The Detroit News, the Royal Oak Democrat informed supporters of her withdrawal, effectively reshaping the state’s upcoming primary election.
With only 30 days remaining before the August 4 Democratic primary, the exit of McMorrow narrows the field to a head-to-head contest. The race now features U.S. Representative Haley Stevens of Birmingham and former Wayne County health chief Abdul El-Sayed of Ann Arbor. The decision marks a significant shift in the Democratic landscape, as candidates move into the final month of campaigning to secure the party’s nomination.
