Democrat Abdul El-Sayed’s former opponent in the Michigan Senate primary, Haley Stevens, is appearing with Republican candidate Mike Rogers at a Detroit church after intraparty tensions have boiled over days before the election.

The appearance comes after the congresswoman was uninvited to a joint event Sunday with El-Sayed, who defeated her by a slim margin in the August primary.

Stevens has been critical of El-Sayed’s comments surrounding Israel. Her fiance said last week he was voting for Rogers, claiming El-Sayed had not done enough to address concerns of the Jewish community.

    Remember the day before the NYC mayoral election when Trump endorsed Andrew Como who was running as a spoiler candidate against Mamdani? I see similaries.

    Good job Michigan for not letting Haley Stevens win the primary. We cannot afford another John Fetterman in the Senate.

    I am a Democrat in Michigan and the first thing i am doing tomorrow morning is calling every goddamn number I can find and insist they kick Haley out of the fucking party.

    She’s a rat-fuck traitor.

        State party, good start.

        I want to see the same statement from Jeffries. Take away her D label in congress. Take away her caucus vote, her committee seats. You can’t allow treachery like this. It would be like a gang allowing undercover cops in their ranks.

    This is just more confirmation that the right candidate won. Losing the primary and then supporting the republican is some scummy shit.

    While I could come up with well reasoned arguments against Rogers, you really only need one: HE DOESN’T FUCKING LIVE IN MICHIGAN.

    He can fuck off back to Florida where he belongs, and Stevens can go with him.

    This woman and her husband are evil. They want to subject this country to further fascist descent for a paycheck from their owners. Those same owners are in the epstein files and part of a broader circle of powerful perverts and slavers.

    Stevens, Rogers, Trump, Thiel, Musk, Netanyahu, Barak, Wexler…all joined together. This is who we’re dealing with.

    This is the central philosophy of “centrism”. Whenever you vote for a centrist, this is who you are voting for.

    She is a great real time example of why the Who part of voting Blue Matters. I’ll won’t support AIPAC shills like her. Her using Black voters as a prop for the endorsement was nasty work.

    She was a piece of shit before. This isn’t surprising.

    Told her primary campaign to fuck off on the isreali dick it rode in on when they spammed me for support.
