Democrat Haley Stevens endorses Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers

US Representative Haley Stevens of Michigan, who lost the Democratic primary, has endorsed the Republican candidate in the state's race for a US Senate seat.

Haley Stevens, a Democratic member of the US House of Representatives from Michigan, has announced her support for Republican candidate Mike Rogers in the race for a US Senate seat. The move is unusual because Rogers represents the opposing party.

Stevens had competed in the Democratic primary in Michigan, which was won by Abdul El-Sayed. He is now the Democratic nominee in the Senate election, and Rogers is running against him.

The source gives no further details on Stevens' reasons for the decision or on the primary results.
