US midterms: Democrat Haley Stevens backs Republican Mike Rogers in Michigan Senate race

Haley Stevens has endorsed Republican Mike Rogers for the Senate, distancing herself from Democratic candidate Abdul El-Sayed after a public dispute. The conflict arose over an advertisement linking US support for Israel to living costs, which Stevens labeled antisemitic. El-Sayed refused to condemn the ad, stating it was not from his campaign. Tensions escalated when El-Sayed's team indicated Stevens was unwelcome at a joint event, prompting her to support Rogers instead. Stevens emphasized her Democratic identity while endorsing Rogers, who welcomed her support as a stand against hate. This Senate race is crucial for determining control of the chamber.
