Gary Peters Breaks Neutrality Pledge as Progressive Candidate Polls Competitively

What was said

"He previously had said that he was going to sit out of the entire primary. He's like, Oh, whoever wins, we'll let him win. And it appears now that Elsad is coming, at least within striking distance, seems to be tied in the polls here with Haley Stevens, that he has come out and explicitly said, I'm allin for Haley Stevens."

Michigan Senator Gary Peters, who Stevens is running to replace, broke his previous commitment to remain neutral in the primary after polls showed progressive Abdul Elsad pulling even with establishment candidate Haley Stevens. Peters' endorsement announcement strategically emphasized Stevens' Obama-era auto bailout credentials. The race has become a proxy battle between Obama's implicit backing of Stevens versus Bernie Sanders' explicit endorsement of Elsad.
