Staff members of Michigan Democratic Rep. Haley Stevens, including her chief of staff Justin German, have resigned after she endorsed Republican Mike Rogers in the Michigan Senate race. German said in a public statement that he and “many members” of her team resigned. According to Just the News, Stevens had asked Democratic Senate rival Abdul El-Sayed to clarify his position on Israel after an ad supporting him blamed Israel for rising grocery prices. The same report says El-Sayed’s campaign then disinvited Stevens from its campaign events. HuffPost reports that Stevens was originally due to attend an event with El-Sayed.

    Bombshell

In the outlets’ own words

  • Sensational language

    BombshellMore neutral: endorsement

    The word adds drama to a routine endorsement, which the headline does not need to convey the news.

    Used byTownhall (Far Right)

  • Loaded verb

    jump shipMore neutral: switched her endorsement to

    The idiom implies disloyalty or abandonment of a party, a judgement beyond the fact of an endorsement.
