Trump invites Michigan Democrat Stevens to join the Republican Party

US President Donald Trump has publicly praised Haley Stevens, a Democrat from the state of Michigan, for endorsing Republican Mike Rogers. Trump also invited Stevens to join the Republican Party.

Support across party lines is unusual, since Stevens represents the Democratic Party while Rogers is a Republican. Trump made his invitation while commenting on her decision.

The source, a short Al Jazeera video report, gives no further details. It does not say which office or election Rogers is being endorsed for, how Stevens responded to Trump's invitation, or whether she intends to change her party affiliation. Those points therefore cannot be stated.
