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.”

    I’ve seen too many people acting confused. There’s no breakdown. She’s a hollow bell tolling for money and AIPAC must have dumped cash in her lap.

    Incoming Fox News correspondent seat, I bet.

      She’ll be the perfect “Democrat” representative for their “debates.” Expect lots of disdain for the “Socialists” taking over the party. I can hear it now: “I didn’t leave the Democrat Party, the Democrat Party left me.”

      Her fiancé allegedly gets AIPAC money and is a huge Zionist. Michigan’s government is very blue despite being a battleground state and I can tell you she is NOT well liked here at all. Total crook and completely corrupted.

      There’s strong reason to believe that she was motivated more by a fit of pique than by greed. She was acting bizarrely while she was supposed to be campaigning for Al-Sayed, his campaign asked her to stop showing up, then she started bleating about being a victim and flipped to supporting the MAGA stooge. She’d been taking cash for a long time, but the personal grievance happened almost immediately before she backstabbed Abdul.
