Michigan congresswoman Haley Stevens has endorsed Abdul El-Sayed, her former rival in the state's Democratic Senate primary, after losing to him by a narrow margin. Appearing on Fox News' "America's Newsroom," Stevens explained her decision to back El-Sayed while also warning that socialism poses a "dangerous" path for the Democratic Party, reflecting wider tensions between moderate and progressive wings of the party ahead of the general election.

The appearance touched on broader debates roiling the Democratic Party, including disputes over how to handle far-left figures and policies such as El-Sayed's healthcare proposals, which he has acknowledged would require higher taxes. Stevens's remarks come amid a string of related controversies covered by Fox News involving progressive candidates, socialist policy positions and internal party divisions over messaging ahead of upcoming elections.
