Stevens betrays El-Sayed in Michigan with his support for the Republican candidate

Democratic Congresswoman Haley Stevens publicly endorsed Republican Mike Rogers, betraying her former rival Abdul El-Sayed ahead of crucial elections in Michigan. This unexpected support came after a dispute over an ad criticizing U.S. support for Israel. Stevens' decision drew sharp criticism from Democratic leaders, including Chuck Schumer, who labeled it a "despicable betrayal." The fallout from this endorsement has reportedly boosted El-Sayed's campaign fundraising significantly, raising $2.4 million shortly after the announcement. The split highlights ongoing tensions within the Democratic Party regarding Israel and its impact on local politics.
