## Key points

- Stevens backed Republican Mike Rogers after a public rift with El-Sayed.
- Dingell said Stevens had dismissed endorsement rumours hours earlier.
- El-Sayed’s campaign raised $1.2 million in the following four hours.

## Summary

Representative Debbie Dingell said Haley Stevens told her late Saturday that rumours of an endorsement for Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers were false. About five hours later, Stevens appeared with Rogers at a Detroit church, after Abdul El-Sayed’s campaign had asked her to stay away from its events through Election Day.

The rift followed Stevens’ criticism of an outside advert about Israel and grocery prices, and El-Sayed’s decision to disinvite her from the event. Rogers said El-Sayed had treated Stevens and members of the African-American community poorly; Stevens said she did not belong in El-Sayed’s campaign. His campaign reported raising $1.2 million in the four hours after her endorsement, while the Senate race was rated a toss-up and Republicans held a 53–47 majority.
