Rep. Haley Stevens endorsed Republican Mike Rogers in Michigan's Senate race after a split with Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed.

Michigan Democratic Rep. Haley Stevens endorsed Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers on Sunday, appearing with him at a Detroit church two days before Election Day.
