Michigan Democrat Abdul El-Sayed’s former opponent in the U.S. Senate primary, Haley Stevens, stunned party officials Sunday by endorsing Republican Mike Rogers after Democratic tensions boiled over days before the election that could determine the balance of power on Capitol Hill.
Stevens endorsed Rogers after attending a Detroit church service with him. The remarkable show of support for Donald Trump’s backed candidate in the tightly contested race comes after she was uninvited to a joint event the same day with El-Sayed, who defeated the congresswoman by a slim margin in the August primary.
“Our Democratic nominee for Senate said I was no longer welcome in his campaign and that I should stay away,” Stevens said video announcing the endorsement. “And he’s right. And that’s why I am endorsing Mike Rogers for the United States Senate today.”
The DNC/establishment democrats need to go, they do not form coalitions in good faith.
edit obviously vote for al-sayed regardless
Man, you guys are trying real fucking hard. Known shitbag has sour grapes and turns and suddenly she represents 85% of the democratic party.
One comes first. Haley Stevens being a shitbag doesn’t change that.
I would love nothing more than for Republicans to be rendered irrelevant and for the two parties to be replaced by the DSA and the neolibs. Just be a little strategic in how you go about that. (I worry you are being strategic, and it’s not for the benefit of DSA.)
You are right. We have to get the Neo Nazis out. But how many of todayz Democrats are pro-ICE, pro-genocide?
We have to recognize that we got to this point by compromising. Compromising with Reagan. Compromising with corporations. Compromising with genocide. “A fundamental restructuring of economic, political, social and religious institutions” is long overdue. If it is relegated to low priority, even for a ‘short term’, things will not get better.
Yeah but I gotta feed the kids so I can’t do politics, which means someone else has to fight for their future. /s
Fix the Supreme Court too while we’re building a wish-list.
The DNC is not a leftist organization. They do just enough to get our votes.
I’m all for strategic voting, but if something like the Working Families Party or even Sunrise Movement is in your area, they are better organizations to support especially if they endorse someone during the primaries.
