Scoop: Anti-Schumer candidate scores meeting with Adam Schiff

• The meeting will raise some eyebrows in D.C., given the party's support of Stevens — and the fact that there's no clear frontrunner in the primary contest.
• McMorrow is part of a wave of anti-establishment Democratic candidates.
• She's in Washington to speak at a national gathering for the Electing Women Alliance, a source told Axios.

The big picture: Republicans are hopeful that a prolonged, messy primary on the Democratic side will help them flip the open Michigan seat next November.

• Progressive favorite Abdul El-Sayed, a top public health official in the state, is also competing in the primary.
• Former Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Mich.), who lost the general election for Senate last year, is the likely GOP nominee.
• Top Republican officials see the Michigan seat as the "starting point" for expanding their majority next year, we scooped earlier this week.

Between the lines: Schiff and McMorrow have known each other for a while, a source said, and Schiff has done events with the her in the past.

• McMorrow and Schiff share two common advisors — Lis Smith and Brad Elkins.
