## Summary

Abdul El-Sayed’s Senate campaign reported a record $2.4 million in donations on the day former Democratic primary rival Haley Stevens endorsed Republican Mike Rogers. The surge, which the campaign said reflected grassroots support, came as Stevens’ decision drew criticism from Democrats and prompted high-profile figures to back El-Sayed.

More than 65,000 people donated, giving an average of about $36; the campaign said it was its strongest fundraising day and its best since El-Sayed won the primary in August. Bruce Springsteen and Jane Fonda’s climate political action committee endorsed him, while Hillary Clinton said Stevens’ move could help his campaign. Stevens appeared with Rogers at a Detroit church after reportedly assuring fellow Democrat Debbie Dingell the previous night that she would not endorse him.
