Representative Haley Stevens plans to campaign with Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, her former primary rival, in a race that The New York Times described as “pivotal.” The paper's report, written by reporter Tim Balk, sets out Stevens's conditions for appearing alongside him.
According to The New York Times, Stevens wants El-Sayed to apologize for comments he made about Israel. She also wants him to disavow an advertisement that she views as antisemitic. The summary of the report does not describe the comments or the advertisement in detail, so those specifics cannot be confirmed from it.
The Times's headline places the apology demand ahead of a joint midterms appearance, which indicates that the dispute arose before the two were scheduled to share a campaign event. The summary does not say when that event is set to take place or where it will be held.
The headline identifies Stevens as El-Sayed's former primary rival, a reference to a contest between the two that the summary does not detail. The Times also framed the planned appearance as part of the campaign season ahead of the midterm elections, according to the headline.
The summary does not say whether El-Sayed has agreed to apologize, whether he will disavow the advertisement, or whether the joint appearance will go forward as planned. It also does not include a response from El-Sayed to Stevens's demands. Further reporting would be needed to establish his position.
