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.
