Haley Stevens Endorses GOP Mike Rogers in Michigan Senate Race
Congresswoman Haley Stevens endorsed Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers in Michigan on November 1, 2026, sparking controversy within the Democratic Party and leading to resignations in her campaign team. Stevens' endorsement came amid a heated dispute with Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed, who leads Rogers in recent polls for the 2026 Michigan U. S. Senate seat.
Earlier telephone surveys by WDIV/Detroit News and Mitchell Research showed El-Sayed ahead of Rogers by margins ranging from seven points to a narrow lead. The race has drawn national attention, with prominent Democrats backing El-Sayed despite internal tensions. Stevens and El-Sayed clashed over ads and comments related to Israel, with Stevens demanding apologies and El-Sayed urging unity. Republican Mike Rogers welcomed Stevens to his campaign events, further highlighting the intra-party divisions in this closely watched Senate race.
