Quick Summary

Democratic Representative Haley Stevens appeared with Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers at a Detroit church on Sunday, following a public rift with Democratic primary opponent Abdul El-Sayed. The disagreement stems from an outside group's ad linking U.S. military aid to Israel with rising grocery prices, which Stevens criticized as antisemitic, leading El-Sayed to accuse her of "relitigating" the primary election that he won three months ago. Rogers praised Stevens for speaking out against the ad and expressed support for her leadership, while El-Sayed chose to distance himself from any further campaign events with Stevens in the lead-up to Tuesday's election.

Story summary

Abdul El-Sayed’s primary rival, Rep. Haley Stevens (D-Mich.), endorsed his Republican opponent Mike Rogers (R-Mich.) on November 1, 2026, just days before Michigan's midterm elections. The endorsement came after a public feud over Israel policy and an unusual appearance at Detroit’s Perfecting Church alongside Rogers. Stevens had originally been asked to skip the event due to tensions but attended anyway, marking a significant political shift that could impact Democratic control of the U.S. Senate.

Why this leaning score

The model judged this article politically coded and scored it +0.30, but 1 quote(s) could not be found in the article and the other 1 are attributed speech rather than the article's own narration, so the score is not published.

Written under an earlier scoring contract, which gave a paragraph rather than checkable quotes. Re-analysing this article replaces it.

The development comes after Stevens, who had been heavily supported by the Senate Democrats' campaign arm in the primary and has since said she was supporting the Democratic ticket, called on El-Sayed last week to condemn an outside group's ad linking U.S. military aid to Israel to rising grocery prices, which she characterized as antisemitic.
