Quick Summary

Democratic Representative Haley Stevens appeared with Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers at a Detroit church on Sunday, following a public rift with Democratic primary opponent Abdul El-Sayed. The disagreement stems from an outside group's ad linking U.S. military aid to Israel with rising grocery prices, which Stevens criticized as antisemitic, leading El-Sayed to accuse her of "relitigating" the primary election that he won three months ago. Rogers praised Stevens for speaking out against the ad and expressed support for her leadership, while El-Sayed chose to distance himself from any further campaign events with Stevens in the lead-up to Tuesday's election.

Story summary

As of November 2, 2026, Rep. Haley Stevens dramatically switched her support from Abdul el Sayed, endorsing Republican candidate Mike Rogers just days before the midterm elections in Michigan. This move came after a series of public feuds between Stevens and El-Sayed, who were former Democratic primary opponents. The feud intensified when Stevens criticized an "anti-Israel" TV ad by El-Sayed's campaign, prompting El-Sayed to request that she stay away from his events. Stevens' endorsement switch has caused significant turmoil within the Democratic Party and resulted in staff departures from her own team. This shift could significantly impact the closely watched Michigan Senate race, potentially turning what was expected to be a "blue wave" into a narrow victory for Republicans.
