## Key points

- Stevens endorsed Republican Mike Rogers late in the Senate race.
- Michigan Republicans said the move could sway some Black and Jewish voters.
- A cited poll put El-Sayed’s Black voter support at about 75%.

## Summary

Michigan Republicans said Democratic Representative Haley Stevens’ late endorsement of Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers could help him win over Black and Jewish voters in the close Michigan race. At a Republican news conference, community leaders argued that Stevens’ support may influence voters who back her or share concerns about Democratic rival Abdul El-Sayed.

The speakers were selected by the state Republican Party, and some observers questioned how much the endorsement or any voter shift would affect the result. A poll cited in the article found El-Sayed’s support among African American voters at about 75% in August and September, below a typical Democratic benchmark. The article said comparable polling had not shown a similar trend among Jewish voters, though some prominent Jewish figures had backed Rogers.
