Michigan Democrat Haley Stevens endorses Republican Mike Rogers at a Detroit church as her own staff quit in protest
Sen. Dan Sullivan (left) and fellow Senate candidate Dan Sullivan, whose presence on Alaska's ballot prompted the Trump administration to file a lawsuit it claimed risked voter confusion — a case a federal judge dismissed as "infeasible" after ballots were already cast.
Haley Stevens publicly broke with her party on Sunday, appearing alongside Rogers at Perfecting Church in Detroit and posting a self-recorded car video declaring 'I don't belong in Abdul's campaign' — two days before polls open in Tuesday's crucial Michigan Senate race. The split erupted after El-Sayed publicly told Stevens she was not welcome at his campaign event, which Stevens described as the final straw after weeks of feuding over Israel policy.
Chief of staff Justin German led the staff walkouts, saying the team was 'shocked and heartbroken' by the decision.
Fellow Michigan Democrat Debbie Dingell called Stevens's Anderson Cooper interview 'one of the most painful interviews I've ever watched.'
El-Sayed shrugged off the defection, saying 'I don't think about Haley Stevens' and claiming to have raised over a million dollars on Sunday alone.
