Stevens defends endorsing Rogers during tense interview
- On November 1, 2026, Congresswoman Haley Stevens endorsed Republican Mike Rogers, abandoning Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed and exposing deep divisions within Michigan's Democratic Party just days before the election.
- Tensions between Stevens and the El-Sayed campaign escalated after she clashed over an outside advertisement linking support for Israel to grocery prices, following her August primary loss to El-Sayed.
- On Monday, Rogers accused Michigan Democrats Debbie Dingell and Mallory McMorrow of insinuating Stevens was 'mentally ill,' sharing clips on X and calling their remarks 'wildly insulting' while praising Stevens for 'putting country over party.'
- Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer labeled the endorsement a 'despicable betrayal,' while Michigan Democratic Party chair Curtis Hertel declared Stevens is no longer a party member; her chief of staff resigned, calling it 'shocking and heartbreaking.'
- As the November 3, 2026 election approaches, the endorsement complicates Democratic efforts in one of the nation's most closely watched Senate races, transforming Stevens into a cautionary tale regarding internal party ideological clashes.
