The congresswoman’s announcement marks a whirlwind turnabout from just days ago, amid a dispute with Democratic candidate Abdul El-Sayed’s campaign over an outside ad that Stevens said was antisemitic. NBC News reported Saturday that El-Sayed’s campaign had asked Stevens to no longer attend campaign events. “Hey, Michigan, as you may have seen, our Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate, Abdul, said that 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 said.
