So the losing candidate in the Michigan US Senate Democratic Party Primary has endorsed the Republican in the race because she wanted the winner, Abdul El-Sayed, to condemn an ad that he had nothing to do with.
In related news, the bulk of her congressional staff resigned and condemned her.
Congresswoman Haley Stevens, who lost the Michigan Democratic Senate primary to Abdul El-Sayed, endorsed his Republican rival, Mike Rogers, in an extraordinary rebuke of her party’s nominee on the eve of the midterm elections.
Her endorsement came in a video posted to X after she attended an event with Rogers at the predominantly Black Perfecting church in Detroit on Sunday. Stevens’s endorsement was the culmination of an escalating feud between the former primary rivals – primarily over support for Israel – that has roiled one of the most fiercely contested Senate contests of the cycle.
The endorsement was met with immediate pushback from Democrats, who condemned Stevens for her “betrayal”.
Actually, that was noted Israel-hater Chuck Schumer, who called her endorsement a, "Despicable betrayal."
It appears that this was precipitated by members of the Michigan Democratic Party establishment, most notably Debbie Dingell, told her to stop grand-standing and STFU.

And Schumer is the one who hand-selected Stevens to run for Senate. That's the kind of sound judgement the Democrats want in their leader! 🙄
