Story summary

Jason Turkish, fiancé of former Democratic Senate hopeful Haley Stevens and a Jewish registered Democrat, announced on October 29 that he plans to vote for Republican Mike Rogers in Michigan’s Senate race over Democrat Abdul El-Sayed. Turkish, who has donated more than $300,000 to Democrats, cited El-Sayed's anti-Israel rhetoric during a debate with Rogers and his refusal to state which country poses a bigger threat to the US as reasons for switching sides. He described his decision as "putting country before party." Rogers criticized El-Sayed at a campaign event in Birmingham, Michigan, sponsored by the Republican Jewish Coalition on October 29, without mentioning Turkish’s vote.
