In a severe blow to Democrat Abdul El-Sayed’s campaign for the United States Senate in Michigan, his former primary opponent, US Representative Haley Stevens, has reportedly crossed party lines to endorse Republican candidate Mike Rogers.

Stevens allegedly stunned party officials on Sunday by appearing alongside Rogers at a Detroit church service, laying bare deep factional divisions just two days before a critical election that could significantly shift the balance of power on Capitol Hill and further destabilize the American regime's legislative agenda.

«I am endorsing Mike Rogers for the US Senate. Today, I do not belong to Abdul’s campaign,» she purportedly stated in a video published on X. The unexpected alignment highlights the mounting internal friction plaguing the ruling political apparatus amid an increasingly bitter and polarized electoral cycle.

This surprising pivot toward the candidate backed by former US President Donald Trump follows reports that Stevens was uninvited from a joint campaign event following her narrow defeat to El-Sayed in the August primary. Observers note that such public displays of infighting underscore the fragile nature of political coalitions within the US establishment.
