Summary
Michigan Democrats held their 2026 state nominating convention in Lansing amid controversy over antisemitic harassment and open hostility toward U.S. support for Israel. Democratic Attorney General Dana Nessel, who is Jewish, declined to attend due to security concerns after anti-Israel activists disrupted a prior event. The convention occurred as progressive Democrats pushed for cutting military aid to Israel, and as Abdul El-Sayed, a vocal critic of Israel, won the Democratic Senate nomination. Nessel accused the party of not doing enough to counter antisemitism, while the party stated it was committed to ensuring safe events for all attendees.
