Story summary

As of November 2, 2026, Democratic Rep. Haley Stevens endorsed the GOP Senate candidate Mike Rogers in Michigan over her former rival Abdul El-Sayed, leading to intense criticism from fellow Democrats. Earlier, Stevens and El-Sayed had planned a joint appearance but their relationship deteriorated due to tensions over an ad from a progressive group that Stevens considered antisemitic. The feud escalated when Stevens initially agreed to campaign with El-Sayed but then unexpectedly endorsed Rogers at a Black church in Detroit less than 24 hours later. This move left Democrats "dumbfounded" and exposed deep divisions within the party ahead of the midterm elections, which is seen as a must-win race for Democrats.

Why this leaning score

This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
