Democrat Michigan Senate candidate Mallory McMorrow is getting dragged on social media after dancing into the state Democratic Party Convention on Sunday alongside a marching band — a flashy entrance that drew parallels to viral moments from former Vice PresidentKamala Harris’ 2019 presidential campaign.
“Mallory McMorrow walked into the second half of today’s convention flanked by DrumKINGZ and a whole lot of supporters.Many are calling it McMentum,”her campaignwrote in a post to X, accompanied by the video.
The entrance comes as McMorrow competes in a crowded Democratic primary to replace retiring Democratic Sen.Gary Peters, with critics quickly portraying the moment as political theater and comparing it to Harris’ 2019 campaign optics.

McMorrow is fending off challengers such as El-Sayed, a former physician, and Rep.Haley Stevens, D-Mich., a four-term member of the House of Representatives.
Stevens leads the trio in fundraising, reporting $8.8 million in contributions at the close of March.But she’s followed narrowly by McMorrow’s$8.6 millionand El-Sayed’s $7.6 million, according to Federal Election Commission filings.
As a former small business owner and Michigan state senator, McMorrow has tried to stake out a lane between Stevens, who is often seen as the more establishment-oriented candidate, and El-Sayed, the progressive candidate who has emphasized policies like Medicare for All.
In her time at the state level, McMorrow worked to strengthen unions and raise wages, eliminated the retirement tax for seniors and repealed Michigan’s 1931 abortion ban, according toher biography page.
“Mallory will bring that same determination to deliver for Michigan families in the U.S.Senate,” the website reads.
