- Stevens appeared alongside Rogers at Detroit's Perfecting Church on Sunday, praising his support for Black-owned businesses after El-Sayed said she was "no longer welcome in his campaign." The church event was arranged at the last minute.
- Democrats face a critical test in reuniting their coalition, as the endorsement threatens party support among Black and Jewish voters in the final days before Election Day.
- Voters choose between Rogers and El-Sayed on Tuesday in a tight Michigan race that could determine which party controls the United States Senate.
