Story summary

Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic nominee for Senate in Michigan, faced a significant setback on Election Day when his former primary rival Rep. Haley Stevens endorsed Republican candidate Mike Rogers instead of supporting him. This surprising move came after weeks of public feuding between El-Sayed and Stevens over controversial ads criticizing Israel, leading to tensions within the party. As a result, some Democratic lawmakers are now discussing potentially expelling Stevens from the party for her endorsement of a Republican candidate. The conflict highlights deep divisions within Michigan's Democratic Party as voters head to the polls in the 2026 midterm elections.
