Candidate announcement
A Democrat in Michigan has endorsed the Republican candidate in the state’s closely-fought US Senate contest, as a spat with her own party’s candidate Abdul El-Sayed escalated just days before the vote.
Haley Stevens, a former congresswomen who lost out on the Democratic nomination to El-Sayed, made a surprise appearance alongside the Republican candidate Mike Rogers at a church on Sunday.
“I don’t belong in Abdul’s campaign,” she said in a video posted to X shortly after that appearance. “Who we are as Michiganders is not hate and is not what we are getting out from our Democratic nominee right now.”
