Published July 18, 2024 3:16pm ET



The Biden-Harris campaign is denying any involvement with the exclusion of battleground Rep. Hillary Scholten (D-MI) from a coordinated campaign effort in Michigan after she called on President Joe Biden to withdraw from the presidential race.

Scholten, a first-term House Democrat who flipped a Republican stronghold in 2022, was reportedly cut off from a coordinated effort between the Biden campaign and the Michigan Democratic Party to elect candidates up and down the ballot, according to Politico. However, after reportedly facing questions from the outlet, Biden campaign spokeswoman Mia Ehrenberg said she would be welcome to participate.
