Democrats blast Stevens over Michigan 'betrayal'
Democratic congresswoman Haley Stevens and Abdul El-Sayed were primary opponents in Michigan's Senate race, which El-Sayed won. Late in the general election campaign, Stevens endorsed the Republican candidate, Mike Rogers, instead of supporting El-Sayed. This decision angered many Democrats, and El-Sayed's campaign asked Stevens to stop appearing at his events. Stevens has defended her endorsement in recent interviews, while the race remains close.
