  "summary": "Rep. Haley Stevens endorsed Republican Mike Rogers for the United States Senate on Sunday, breaking with her party after losing the Democratic primary to Abdul El-Sayed. Stevens announced her endorsement in a video following a surprise appearance with Rogers at a Detroit church. In the video, Stevens stated that she does not belong in El-Sayed's campaign because El-Sayed had previously indicated she was no longer welcome and should stay away.\n\nAccording to The National UAE, the tension followed Stevens' demand that El-Sayed denounce an advertisement blaming rising U.S. prices on American military support for Israel, an ad that Jewish-American groups called anti-Semitic. While Stevens and El-Sayed had originally planned to appear together at a unity event, the endorsement occurred instead.\n\nResponding to the move, El-Sayed told reporters that he does not think about Stevens and is instead focused on issues in his state, as reported by The Hill. The Michigan Senate race is scheduled for Tuesday and could influence which party controls the Senate for the final two years of President Donald Trump's term.",
