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.
