US midterms: In Michigan, Abdul El-Sayed's Democratic rival backs Republican Senate candidate in stunning move
The Michigan Senate race has intensified with Democratic Congresswoman Haley Stevens endorsing Republican Mike Rogers just days before the election. Stevens, who lost the primary to Abdul El-Sayed, stated she felt unwelcome in El-Sayed's campaign. Her endorsement could significantly influence the tight race, crucial for Senate control. The primary was marked by tensions over Middle Eastern policies, with El-Sayed being pro-Palestinian and Stevens a strong supporter of Israel. Despite substantial financial backing for Stevens from pro-Israel groups, the primary outcome did not favor her.
