McMorrow made the announcement in a video and written statement. She expressed gratitude to volunteers and donors who supported the campaign without corporate PAC funds. She said she has no current plans to endorse either remaining candidate.
The winner of the Democratic primary will face Republican Mike Rogers in the November general election for the seat being vacated by Democratic Sen. Gary Peters. Democrats view the contest as important to efforts to regain a Senate majority.
El-Sayed posted on X that McMorrow supporters should join his movement. He accused party insiders of bullying anyone who opposes their chosen candidate. Stevens said she is the strongest Democrat to defeat Rogers this November.
State Attorney General Dana Nessel announced on Facebook that she is endorsing Stevens. The American Israel Public Affairs Committee has spent millions on ads supporting Stevens. The two remaining candidates are scheduled to debate on Tuesday.
