Quick Summary

Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI) attended a church service in Detroit with Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers after initially planning to appear at another event with Democratic candidate Abdul el Sayed. The change came as tensions escalated between Stevens and el Sayed over an advertisement that Jewish leaders have criticized for being antisemitic. The ad, produced by Rebellion PAC, attributes the high cost of groceries to U.S. financial support for Israel.

Story summary

As of November 2, 2026, Haley Stevens, a Democratic congresswoman from Michigan, endorsed the Republican candidate Mike Rogers for the U.S. Senate in a surprising move just days before the midterm elections. This came after a bitter primary battle between Stevens and her former rival Abdul El-Sayed, who had previously won the Democratic nomination for Senate. The endorsement escalated tensions within the Democratic party, with El-Sayed accusing Stevens of focusing on herself rather than helping Michiganders. Stevens' backing of Rogers further complicated the race in Michigan, a swing state crucial to both parties' strategies. President Donald Trump invited Stevens to join the Republican Party following her endorsement, while many Democrats condemned her decision as a "betrayal."
