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.”

Bolsonaro Arrives in U.S. and Declares Himself Brazil’s “True President”

Flávio Bolsonaro, Brazil’s defeated right-wing presidential candidate, declared himself the “true president” of Brazil after arriving in Miami, Florida, on October 28, 2026, following a clandestine journey from Argentina with a stop in Ecuador. The far-right senator, who lost the October 25 election to Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, issued the claim in a letter hours after landing with his wife and two teenage daughters. He later revised the statement, replacing “true president” with “the leader of Brazil.” In the letter, he thanked U.S. President Donald Trump and Argentina’s president, Javier Milei, for their support.
