Quick Summary

US Representative Haley Stevens, a Democrat from Michigan, endorsed Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers on Sunday, two days before the midterm elections. This unexpected move came after she was uninvited to a joint event with her former primary opponent Abdul El-Sayed, whom she narrowly lost in August. In a video posted on X, Stevens criticized El-Sayed's campaign and emphasized that Rogers represents who Michiganders truly are, suggesting a rift within the Democratic party ahead of the crucial Senate race.

AI analysis

Story summary

As of November 2, 2026, Democratic Rep. Haley Stevens endorsed the GOP Senate candidate Mike Rogers in Michigan over her former rival Abdul El-Sayed, leading to intense criticism from fellow Democrats. Earlier, Stevens and El-Sayed had planned a joint appearance but their relationship deteriorated due to tensions over an ad from a progressive group that Stevens considered antisemitic. The feud escalated when Stevens initially agreed to campaign with El-Sayed but then unexpectedly endorsed Rogers at a Black church in Detroit less than 24 hours later. This move left Democrats "dumbfounded" and exposed deep divisions within the party ahead of the midterm elections, which is seen as a must-win race for Democrats.

Narrative

Today, I do not belong to Abdul’s campaign,” she said in a video posted on X. Stevens’ surprising support for US President Donald Trump’s endorsed candidate in the tightly contested race comes after she was uninvited to a joint event on the same day with El-Sayed, who defeated her by a slim margin in the August primary. “Who we are as Michiganders is not hate, and [that] is not what we are getting out of our Democratic nominee right now,” Stevens said.
