So we wanted to turn to the Michigan Senate Democratic primary where Haley Stevens, the establishment darling, is up against Abdul El-Sayed, the left-wing insurgent. And there's a new tactic being deployed from Stevens and Stevens' allied groups to make it seem like maybe, kind of, sort of, she was endorsed by Obama. Let's go ahead and take a look at one of these ads.
Chelsea Handler 2:35
My husband worked at Ford for 41 years.
Krystal Ball 2:38
My father worked with General Motors for 30 years. And when they came for our auto jobs, Haley Stevens stood up. She was chief of staff to President Obama's auto rescue. And Haley Stevens, by the way, she was a critical part of my team that helped the American auto industry come roaring back. That saved 200,000 Michigan jobs.
Jake Brennan 2:57
She helped save jobs for my own family.
Unknown 2:59
If President Obama trusts her, so do I. Stronger Michigan is responsible for the content of this ad.
Krystal Ball 3:04
President Obama trusts her, and so do I. Stevens has millions of dollars, more than tens of millions of dollars, flooding into this race on her behalf from a variety of super PACs, including some that are backed by a PAC. This is a mailer that's going out to homes around Michigan that says similar quotes. Haley Stevens was a PAC. critical part of my team that helped the American auto industry come roaring back. President Barack Obama, Detroit Free Press opinion, Black Michiganders will help decide Michigan's U.S. Senate primary. This one is from one of the AIPAC allied super PACs. And you've had Michigan voters. who are taking in this content assume that it means that she is fully endorsed by Barack Obama, which she is not.
Krystal Ball 3:48
He is not endorsed in this race. Of course, he could pipe up and make that clear. He has chosen not to do that at this point. But in any case, you have some voters who are saying that, you know, I'm going to vote for Haley Stevens based on these ads.
