Michigan Congresswoman Endorses Republican Senate Rival

Michigan Congresswoman Haley Stevens stunned party officials on Sunday by endorsing Republican Mike Rogers in the U.S. Senate race after attending a church service with him in Detroit. The move came after she was uninvited from a joint event with Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed, the candidate she narrowly lost to in August’s primary. “Our Democratic nominee for Senate said I was no longer welcome in his campaign and that I should stay away,” Stevens said in a video announcing her endorsement. “And he’s right. And that’s why I am endorsing Mike Rogers for the United States Senate today.”
