Michigan voters make surprising cross-party choices as Rogers, El-Sayed race reaches final hours
A former Democrat backs Mike Rogers while a lifelong Republican holds his nose to vote for Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan's pivotal Senate race.
What the coverage shows
Most outlets frame the story as a sudden cross-party endorsement by Democratic Rep. Haley Stevens that jolts the Michigan Senate race and intensifies the Democratic rift around Abdul El-Sayed. NBC News, CBS News and The Guardian US foreground the feud and backlash, while Politico, Axios and NPR keep the focus on the endorsement’s immediate political impact. Only NBC News explicitly says the move followed a dispute over an outside ad Stevens described as antisemitic.
