US EditionRep. Rashida Tlaib endorses Donavan McKinney in Democratic race against Shri Thanedar
- U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib has announced her support for Donavan McKinney, a Michigan state legislator challenging incumbent Shri Thanedar in the Democratic primary for the 13th Congressional District.
- Tlaib condemned Thanedar’s inadequate support for constituents and expressed confidence that McKinney would deliver more effective and attentive leadership, underscoring the ideological rifts within Michigan’s Democratic Party.
- Hailing from Detroit and serving two terms in the state legislature, McKinney began his campaign a fortnight ago and has secured backing from various state officials, Justice Democrats, and numerous legislators.
- Tlaib said, "I'm proud to have Donavan's back because I know he'll always have Michiganders' backs," while Thanedar's office reported resolving over 2,800 constituent problems and recovering $3 million.
- The endorsement further complicates the tense dynamic between Tlaib and Thanedar and may impact the competitive primary, where Thanedar continues to lead despite facing some challenges.
