Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed’s campaign says it raised more than $2.4 million in a single day from about 65,000 donors after Representative Haley Stevens, a Democrat, endorsed Republican Mike Rogers on Sunday. The Hill, citing figures first reported by Politico, puts the haul at $1.2 million in four hours. Stevens had lost the Democratic primary to El-Sayed earlier this year. Representative Debbie Dingell said the endorsement would backfire, citing the donations that followed it.

The center outlet reports the haul neutrally as $1.2 million in four hours, while the right-side outlets say the endorsement backfired, Fox News calling it a stunt.
