DETROIT — Michigan Senate candidate Abdul el Sayed’s campaign has asked Rep. Haley Stevens to stay away from his remaining campaign events, an extraordinary escalation in a Democratic feud threatening to undermine the party’s effort to flip a critical Senate seat just days before Election Day.

The request, confirmed to the Washington Examiner by a person familiar with the decision Saturday morning, comes as the Michigan Senate nominee and his former primary rival have resumed publicly attacking each other over Israel, campaign spending, and the direction of the Democratic Party.
