Democratic Representative Haley Stevens of Michigan has endorsed Republican Mike Rogers in the race for the open U.S. Senate seat, withdrawing her support for Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed, her former primary rival. Stevens announced the endorsement in a video on Sunday, two days before Election Day. Stevens said El-Sayed had told her she was no longer welcome in his campaign, after a falling-out over Israel. President Donald Trump praised the move as brave on Truth Social, and Newsweek and The Hill report that he said he would “love to have” Stevens join the Republican Party.
