Rep. Haley Stevens endorsed Republican Mike Rogers in Michigan's U.S. Senate race instead of backing fellow Democrat Abdul El-Sayed, Mondoweiss reported. The endorsement came as a shock within Democratic circles. Israel policy appeared central to Stevens's decision, though her explicit reasoning remained unclear.
El-Sayed's positions on Israeli military conduct in Gaza have drawn scrutiny from pro-Israel advocacy groups and some Democratic figures. Stevens, who has cultivated strong ties to pro-Israel donors and organizations, broke party ranks with the endorsement of Rogers, who leads the House Intelligence Committee.
