Democratic Rep. Haley Stevens endorsed Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers in Michigan, two days before the state’s Senate election. She appeared alongside Rogers at Detroit’s Perfecting Church. Stevens had previously said she was supporting the Democratic ticket. Democrats expressed fury over the endorsement. Control of the U.S. Senate may be decided in Michigan, and the race is a key Senate contest in the state. It is not yet clear how the endorsement will affect voter preferences among Black and Jewish constituencies or the overall balance of the Senate.
