U.S. Rep. Haley Stevens, a Michigan Democrat, endorsed Republican Mike Rogers for the U.S. Senate, rejecting her party’s nominee, Abdulrahman “Abdul” El‑Sayed, according to the Western Journal.
What Stevens said
In a video posted to her X account on Sunday, Stevens said, “who we are as Michiganders is not hate” and called the race “the conscience of the Senate right now,” the outlet reported. She also said, “We have to stand with country. We can’t stand with hate. We can’t stand with Hasan Piker,” according to the same video cited by the Western Journal.
Stevens posted on X: “I am endorsing Mike Rogers for the United States Senate today,” per the outlet’s transcription of her post.
Where she said it
The Western Journal reported that Stevens appeared alongside Rogers at a campaign event at a Detroit church on Sunday.
Context noted by the outlet
The outlet wrote that Stevens narrowly lost to El‑Sayed in Michigan’s Democratic Senate primary in August. It also framed her endorsement as a rejection of El‑Sayed amid criticism of his associations; these claims were presented by the outlet and were not independently verified here.
