Abdul El-Sayed and Mike Rogers find rare common ground after Trump's Michigan rally visit

Democrat Abdul El-Sayed and Republican Mike Rogers have broken from their bitter Michigan Senate battle to agree on something after President Trump's rally in the state, a moment that underlines how Trump's intervention is reshaping the race in its closing weeks. El-Sayed, a progressive doctor pitching himself as the voice of "abandoned America," faces an uphill fight against the GOP's Rogers with November approaching fast. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has joined El-Sayed on the trail, clashing with Vice President Vance along the way.

Former Democratic primary rival Haley Stevens endorsed El-Sayed but has since met the Dalai Lama and appeared on 'TMZ Live' — not once joining him on the campaign trail.

Stevens told reporters El-Sayed is building a 'new coalition' and suggested it is not her place to push her own sceptical supporters toward him.

Some Stevens backers are still openly resisting El-Sayed, a silence that is growing conspicuous with the Senate contest entering its final stretch.
