Democratic Rep. Haley Stevens endorses Republican Mike Rogers for Michigan Senate
It's a blow for Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed in the final days of his campaign, and an escalation of their feud.
What the coverage shows
All of the coverage centers on Haley Stevens backing Mike Rogers instead of Abdul El-Sayed, and most outlets frame it as a late, dramatic blow to Democrats in Michigan. Politico, The Guardian, NBC, NPR, Axios and CBS emphasize the intra-party rift and the context of a feud, while Fox News and The Independent foreground the Detroit church appearance; The Hill, BBC News and Newsweek focus on Democrats’ anger, and the New York Times is alone in delving into the split’s backstory.
