Haley Stevens Appears With Mike Rogers Amid Democratic Rift
· World · CBS News, Axios, NBC News
Democratic Representative Haley Stevens appeared alongside Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers at a Detroit church on Sunday, highlighting an ongoing rift within the Michigan Democratic Party. The move follows Stevens' public demand that Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed condemn an outside group's ad, which she labeled antisemitic. El-Sayed, who defeated Stevens in the August primary, has distanced himself from the ad but criticized Stevens for relitigating the primary. Amid the tension, Stevens was reportedly asked to stay away from remaining campaign events, and her fiancé has publicly stated he is voting for Rogers. Rogers praised Stevens for her stance, contrasting her with El-Sayed in the final days before the election.
Why it matters
This public split between a sitting Democratic representative and her party's Senate nominee in a competitive state could impact voter turnout and party unity ahead of the election.
