Even Chuck Schumer Was Disgusted By Haley Stevens' Betrayal of Abdul El-Sayed

From Pod Save America

A Michigan Democrat, Haley Stevens, rescinds her endorsement of Abdul El-Sayed for Senate and endorses Mike Rogers, arguing for party unity, condemning extremism, and prioritizing national interest over internal disagreements. The move highlights intra-party tension, with Stevens describing El-Sayed as divisive and supporting Rogers to align with the broader Democratic goal of keeping the Senate amid concerns about election integrity and policy direction.
