Description
Senator Haley Stevens lost the primary to Abdul El-Sayed. Now she’s backing Mike Rogers — and Detroit voters ARE NOT taking the excuses.
Stevens warned that Rogers would rubber-stamp Trump’s dangerous agenda. Now she’s endorsing him while claiming to stand against hate—even as his campaign smears El-Sayed with Islamophobic attacks. So much for those principles.
Status Coup’s Jordan Chariton is on the ground in Detroit, hearing from voters who saw through Stevens long before this endorsement. Meanwhile, El-Sayed pushes reporters to stop chasing the spectacle and ask about the people paying too much for groceries, worried about their kids’ schools, and demanding clean air and water.
