Story summary

As of November 3, 2026, Rep. Haley Stevens (D-Mich.) unexpectedly endorsed Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers, just days before the midterm elections, in a dramatic shift from her previous support for Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed. This move followed months of public feuds between Stevens and El-Sayed over their differing stances on issues such as Israel. With the endorsement, some Democrats are considering expelling Stevens from the party due to caucus rules against supporting opposing-party candidates. The controversy has heightened tensions within Michigan's Democratic Party ahead of the critical Senate race.
