Rep. Haley Stevens defends her endorsement of Republican Mike Rogers over Democrat Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan Senate race
Michigan Rep. Haley Stevens issued a lengthy statement explaining why she withdrew her endorsement of Democrat Abdul El-Sayed and backed Republican Mike Rogers two days before Election Day. She cited an outside ad tying Israel aid to grocery prices, an El-Sayed campaign ad featuring Tucker Carlson, and El-Sayed's association with Hasan Piker, and rejected speculation that her fiancé influenced her decision as sexism. Rogers praised the endorsement at a final rally; El-Sayed urged supporters to vote.
