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."
