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.
