Midterms 2026: in Michigan, the incredible rallying of Abdul El-Sayed's Democratic opponent to the Republican candidate

In a surprising turn of events just days before the midterm elections, Democratic Congresswoman Haley Stevens endorsed Republican candidate Mike Rogers in Michigan's Senate race. Stevens, who lost her party's primary to Abdul El-Sayed, announced her support via a video, stating she no longer felt welcome in El-Sayed's campaign. This endorsement could significantly impact the closely contested election, which is crucial for Senate control. Stevens had previously joined Rogers at a church service in Detroit, highlighting her shift in allegiance.
