Democratic Rep. Haley Stevens endorses Republican Mike Rogers for Michigan Senate
It's a blow for Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed in the final days of his campaign, and an escalation of their feud.
Democratic Rep. Haley Stevens has endorsed Republican Mike Rogers for the Michigan Senate race, marking a significant shift in her political allegiance. This endorsement comes after a public feud with Stevens, who had previously announced her intention to vote for Democratic primary opponent Abdul El-Sayed. The endorsement was made at a church in Detroit, where Stevens appeared alongside Rogers, publicly announcing her decision to support him for the Senate.
Stevens cited El-Sayed's criticism of Israel as the reason for her change of heart, stating, "Abdul said that I was no longer welcome in his campaign and that I should stay away. And he’s right."
