  "account": "Michigan Democratic Congresswoman Haley Stevens has endorsed Republican Mike Rogers for the upcoming US Senate race, a move that has sparked controversy and criticism. Stevens initially supported her Democratic opponent, Abdul El-Sayed, but changed her endorsement two days before Election Day after El-Sayed refused to condemn an ad blaming Israel for rising grocery prices. Stevens cited El-Sayed's association with anti-Israel activist Hasan Piker and the PAC ad as reasons for her endorsement switch. Rogers, who stood beside Stevens, criticized the ad as blaming a group for people's problems, reminiscent of 1930s Germany. Jewish Democrats and leaders have strongly condemned Stevens' endorsement, with some calling it a \"despicable betrayal.\" El-Sayed dismissed Stevens' endorsement and warned against supporting Rogers and Trump. Stevens remains a proud Democrat but faces criticism from her staff and some Jewish Democrats who believe she is prioritizing personal issues over the greater good.",
  "summary": "The surprise move two days before Election Day further exacerbated the growing fracture between Zionist Jewish communities and the Democratic Party.",
