Michigan Democratic Party chair Curtis Hertel made it crystal clear on Sunday that Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI) was no longer welcome in the state’s Democratic party.
Hertel posted to X after Stevens yanked her support from Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed (D) and gave it to his Republican challenger, “Congresswoman Stevens is not a current member of the Michigan Democratic Party, nor will she be in the future.”
her career has been heavily funded by the pro Israel lobby for a long time, her husband endorsed the republican way earlier than the commercial controversy, she’s not that old and likely wants to cash in on her political career, and the most likely job after legislature is a lobbyist, and she’s mostly interacted with pro Isreal lobbyist, so… that’s probably where she’d like to work. This is a grand romantic gesture.
The thing is, that’s not her husband, it’s her fiancé, and they only started dating back in spring of this year. She might actually be a honeypot victim.
as sexy as that sounds, I think it’s just money and self interest.
