Sioux Falls, SD, November 1, 2026 — Outgoing Michigan Democratic Congresswoman Haley Stevens has publicly endorsed Republican U.S. Senate candidate Mike Rogers, a move that has drawn significant backlash from within her own party. The endorsement came just days before the Nov. 3 midterm elections, placing Stevens at odds with the Democratic nominee, Abdul El-Sayed.

Stevens’ decision to back the Republican candidate over a fellow Democrat has led to widespread condemnation from members of the Democratic party. The specific individuals or groups who condemned the endorsement and the exact nature of their statements were not detailed in the provided information.

In response to the endorsement, Donald Trump extended an invitation to Congresswoman Stevens to join the Republican Party. The details of this invitation, including where and how it was made, were not specified.

Haley Stevens is an outgoing Democratic congresswoman representing a district in Michigan. Mike Rogers is a Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate in Michigan, and Abdul El-Sayed is the Democratic nominee in that same race. The election is scheduled for November 3, with the year of the election not explicitly stated.

The political landscape in Michigan is often closely watched, and endorsements and cross-party support can generate considerable attention, particularly in the lead-up to significant electoral events like midterm elections. The ramifications of Stevens’ endorsement on the Senate race and her future political standing within the Democratic party remain to be seen. The contractor’s name, specific locations for any communications, or the exact timeline beyond “days before the Nov. 3 midterm elections” were not provided.
