Democratic Rep. Stevens endorses Rogers over El-Sayed in Michigan Senate election

Rep. Haley Stevens (D-Mich.) has endorsed Rep. Mike Rogers, a Republican, over fellow Democrat Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan's Senate race, after losing the Democratic nomination to El-Sayed earlier this year. The endorsement is notable because Stevens, a sitting Democratic congresswoman, is backing the GOP nominee against her own party's candidate, potentially signaling dissatisfaction with El-Sayed's candidacy and complicating Democratic unity in a battleground state. The move could influence moderate and independent voters in a contest with implications for Senate control, where Democrats face a difficult 2026 map. Watch for whether other Michigan Democrats follow Stevens's lead and how El-Sayed's campaign responds.
