DETROIT — Haley Stevens, the Democrat who lost Michigan’s Senate primary, endorsed Republican Mike Rogers on Sunday, the Associated Press reported. She had been uninvited to a joint event that day with Abdul El-Sayed, who beat her in August. She appeared with Rogers at a service at Perfecting Church and then announced the endorsement.

“Our Democratic nominee for Senate said I was no longer welcome in his campaign and that I should stay away,” Stevens said in a video. “And he’s right. And that’s why I am endorsing Mike Rogers for the United States Senate today.” She also said, “This is a weight off my shoulders, I’m being straight with everybody.” Rogers said, “I’m honored.”

And he’s right. And that’s why I am endorsing Mike Rogers for the United States Senate today.

El-Sayed, asked later Sunday, said, “At the end of the day I actually don’t think about Haley Stevens,” and, “None of this matters.” Chuck Schumer, the Senate Democratic leader, wrote: “This is a despicable betrayal from Rep. Stevens.”
