Michigan State Senator Mallory McMorrow

On Sunday, state Senator and far-left media darling Mallory McMorrow announced she is abruptly suspending her campaign for the U.S. Senate.

The sudden exit comes just one month before the high-stakes August 4 primary.

State Senator’s humiliating exit leaves chaotic primary between Schumer-backed Haley Stevens and radical El-Sayed backed by Bernie and Hasan Piker.

This is the pathetic end of a campaign that was never going anywhere. McMorrow’s numbers were in the toilet, some polls showed her stuck around 6%, and she had been under intense pressure from party insiders to clear the field. She resisted at first, but reality finally hit.

As The Gateway Pundit has reported, McMorrow’s credibility was already in tatters long before today.

We exposed her deleted tweets, nearly 6,000 of them, that revealed she was still a California resident and voter well into 2016, despite her 2025 autobiography claiming she “relocated permanently” to Michigan in 2014. Public records showed she didn’t even register to vote in Michigan until August 2016.

She pined for California, dreamed of the U.S. breaking apart so “Middle America” could be separated from the coasts, and pushed anti-car nonsense in the heart of the auto industry state.

CNN even had to grill her on the residency timeline and the mountain of deleted posts.

And who could forget her unhinged comments about conservative Supreme Court Justices Amy Coney Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh, joking she “wouldn’t be able to control herself” and might throw beer cans at them? Classic Democrat “backbone.”

In a video posted to social media, McMorrow thanked volunteers, staff, and grassroots donors while claiming she built her campaign with “zero corporate PAC dollars.”

She stopped short of endorsing either remaining candidate but vowed to support the eventual nominee against Republican Mike Rogers.

McMorrow posted on X:

Today, I’m announcing that I am suspending my campaign for United States Senate.

And I’m doing it with a deep, deep sense of gratitude. For our thousands of volunteers, for everyone who donated what you could — building a campaign with zero corporate PAC dollars. For my staff, who built this team up from nothing. I thank you.

For my family. For Ray, who believed in me long before I ever believed in myself. And for Noa. Our five-year-old, who presses her hands up against the window to wave goodbye every morning when I leave for work.

“Remember, Mom,” she reminded me recently. “It’s not about if you win. It’s about trying hard and having fun.”

She’s right. So I want to be very clear about what this announcement is not. I may be suspending this campaign, but I am not leaving the fight.

I never planned on politics. After the 2016 election, I felt lost. I picked up my phone and typed five words into the search bar: “How to run for office.”

And here’s what I learned: when regular people get in the fight, things can change. In my very first election, we flipped a district against the incumbent. Four years later — with so many of you — we flipped the Michigan Senate for the first time in nearly forty years.

And we didn’t stop at winning. We repealed Michigan’s abortion ban. We raised wages. We made sure every child gets breakfast and lunch at school. We made it easier to go to college. We expanded civil rights and voting rights. And so, so much more.

These wins took thousands of us — showing up every single day, refusing to give up when there were setbacks. That’s why I’m staying in this fight. And why I need you to stay in it with me.

Now, I haven’t been shy about calling for new leadership and a better Democratic Party. I mean it. The energy is there. People are crying out for change. And we owe it to them to listen.

Then we need to build it up, together, from the ground up.

So here’s what we do next. Every day through November 3rd. We win this Senate seat and send Mike Rogers back to Florida for good. Whoever wins this primary on August 4th will have my full support.

Then, let’s elect Jocelyn Benson as our next Governor. Let’s flip the State House, and expand our majority in the State Senate. Let’s elect Democrats up and down the ticket and show the rest of this country what it means to fight like Michigan.

Ten years ago, I started this work heartbroken, typing five words into a search bar. And I learned the only thing that has ever really changed this country: ordinary people who love something enough to fight for it.

I love this country. I love Michigan. And I love the little girl who waves at me from the window every morning, trusting the grown-ups to leave her a state and a country worth inheriting.

That’s who I’m fighting for.

And I’m not going anywhere. I hope you’ll join me.

How do you think Mallory McMorrow's withdrawal will affect Michigan's Democratic Senate primary race?
