  "account": "Democratic Michigan US Rep. Haley Stevens received a standing ovation at a fundraising gala for a Detroit-area Jewish day school Sunday evening. This came hours after she endorsed Republican Mike Rogers for Senate. Stevens, known for her pro-Israel stance, was celebrated at Yeshiva Beth Yehudah's annual dinner. Many of her party members across the country spoke out against her decision to endorse Rogers. Representatives from Agudath Israel of America, an Orthodox advocacy group, shared video of Stevens' ovation on social media. Stevens explained that her endorsement was due to disagreements with Abdul El-Sayed's past relationship with anti-Israel streamer Hasan Piker. When confronted about her timing, Stevens said she was trying to help the Democratic Party and expressed concerns about antisemitism within the party, citing Hasan Piker and a maine candidate with a Nazi tattoo. After publicly pressuring El-Sayed to condemn an ad blaming Israel for grocery prices, Stevens celebrated his apparent condemnation hours before endorsing Rogers.",
