What happened

Haley Stevens, a former Senate candidate, has endorsed El-Sayed, a former primary rival. According to Politico, Stevens is not pushing hard for her former backers to support him.

Context

An endorsement without active campaigning suggests a tepid level of support—public backing paired with minimal organizational effort. This disconnect may indicate lingering tensions from their primary contest or simply a lower priority for Stevens, though it affects El-Sayed's ability to mobilize the donor and volunteer networks Stevens previously commanded.
