Democrats blast Stevens over Michigan 'betrayal'

Rep. Haley Stevens has endorsed Republican Mike Rogers for Michigan's open U.S. Senate seat, a move that comes days before the midterm elections. Stevens, a Democrat who recently lost the Democratic primary to nominee Abdul El-Sayed, received praise from Donald Trump on Truth Social, who described her decision as an act of bravery and loyalty to the people of Michigan.

The endorsement has caused outrage among Democrats, according to The Hill. The Jerusalem Post reports that key Jewish Democratic figures denounced the decision. At a press conference in Detroit, Michigan congressional candidate Jeremy Moss spoke in support of El-Sayed, stating that Mike Rogers is not a solution to current problems, though Moss has not formally endorsed El-Sayed and has had public disagreements with him.

The Jerusalem Post also notes that Moss appeared alongside former Jewish congressman Andy Levin, who has supported El-Sayed for months. The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age report that Rogers is backed by Donald Trump in the tightly contested race.
