Michigan Democrat Abdul El-Sayed’s former opponent in the U.S. Senate primary, Haley Stevens, stunned party officials Sunday by endorsing Republican Mike Rogers after Democratic tensions boiled over days before the election that could determine the balance of power on Capitol Hill.

Stevens endorsed Rogers after attending a Detroit church service with him. The remarkable show of support for Donald Trump’s backed candidate in the tightly contested race comes after she was uninvited to a joint event the same day with El-Sayed, who defeated the congresswoman by a slim margin in the August primary.

“Our Democratic nominee for Senate said I was no longer welcome in his campaign and that I should stay away,” Stevens said video announcing the endorsement. “And he’s right. And that’s why I am endorsing Mike Rogers for the United States Senate today.”

I'm very confused on what's happening here. Not that another establishment not-Democrat went full mask off, but of the odd timeline of this.

So this woman lost the primary months ago to Abdul El-Sayed. She stays quiet and/or pushes milquetoast support for the progressive Democrat for those months, even though it's clear she's full on AIPAC supported and has a conservative husband.

Then these last few days, well after a lot of Michigan already voted with early polls, she decides "fuck it we ball" and outwardly and directly decides to endorse the GOP candidate on the ballot? Did something happen behind the scenes? Did she have a mental break? The strategy makes no sense from a sabetour perspectives behind the scenes (she went mask off too early... 2 days too early) nor from a campaign perspective (she went mask off WAY too late for it to matter for the GOP candidate). This can't have been strategic.

when you follow the $, there's a connection between her husband and $ getting funneled to collins. he appears the be the one calling the shots not her

I think it has a lot to go with the new polls that came out today

Centrists and establishment dems have been seeding the narrative for a while that an AES win would be a lot closer than what a middling and corporate/zionist friendly candidate would have done in his place, but that's hard to argue when he's showing a 15 point lead in his race as compared to D+10 races in other competitive states

Steven's is making herself the villain of the week in order to cut down his lead and undercut any potential narrative about left populism being electable in 2028

shes having a crashout, because she lost to AEB, im guessing AEB wouldnt support her anymore in ehr agenda, with regards to israel. some says she was pressured by her zionist husband to do it. her husband mightve hoping her "sudden endorsement would trick some voters for rogers"? she already got ousted by her own party.
