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.”
Already kicked out of the party.
This is the chair of the Michigan Democratic Party.
Finally the dems actually kick people out for some of this shit
shes was too blatant even for schumer or hakeem, she was suppose to use the double speak, say one thing, and do the opposite behind the scenes.
What are the actual consequences of this though? Michigan is an open primary state. Democratic party membership is meaningless.
she wont get support, possibly money from the dems, not like tha tmatters, since she got aipac money.
Can he do that? Like he has that power? I’m glad if he does of course, I’m just kind of surprised that’s within his power to just declare.
weird they can’t do the same for transphobes in DNC
