Shortly before the November 3, 2026, election, U.S. Representative Haley Stevens (D-Mich.) endorsed Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers. Stevens, who lost the Democratic primary in August to Abdul El-Sayed, reversed her previous stance after having initially supported El-Sayed and criticized Rogers as a potential 'rubber stamp' for President Trump. The endorsement comes as the Michigan Senate race remains highly competitive in its final days, though over 2 million Michigan voters had already cast their ballots before the announcement.
