Michigan state Sen. Mallory McMorrow announced Sunday that she is suspending her campaign for U.S. Senate, narrowing a marquee Democratic primary to a two-way race a month before the vote.
Why it matters: It is a major shakeup to what has already been a chaotic Democratic primary in a Trump-won swing state Democrats likely need to retake the Senate.
- McMorrow's withdrawal makes the primary a two-person race between moderate Rep. Haley Stevens (D-Mich.) and progressive Dr. Abdul El-Sayed.
- The development marks a stunning reversal of fortunes for McMorrow, a Democratic rising star who had been polling competitively for much of the race.
What they're saying: "Today, I'm announcing that I'm suspending my campaign for United States Senate," McMorrow said in a video posted to social media on Sunday.
- McMorrow did not endorse Stevens or El-Sayed, but said "whoever wins this primary on Aug. 4 will have my full support."
