The highly watched Senate election in Michigan has taken an unexpected turn just two days before the scheduled vote on November 3. Haley Stevens, a Democratic member of Congress who lost her party's primary to Abdul El-Sayed in August, announced on Sunday that she is endorsing Republican candidate Mike Rogers. This dramatic shift comes after months of tension and could significantly impact the Democrats' chances of securing control of the Senate in this tight race.
Stevens made the announcement via a video filmed inside her car, stating that El-Sayed had told her she was not welcome in his campaign and should stay away. She agreed with his assessment, declaring that she is no longer part of El-Sayed's effort and is now backing Rogers for the Senate seat. Prior to making this public statement, Stevens had already joined the Republican candidate at a religious service held at the Perfecting Church in Detroit, a congregation within the city's Black community.
