Center Owned by HT MediaHaley Stevens backs Republican Mike Rogers in Michigan Senate race, abandoning earlier support for Abdul El-Sayed
What's behind this
Representative Haley Stevens withdrew her endorsement of a Democratic Senate candidate in Michigan to support Republican Mike Rogers, prompting a Democratic backlash that she has defended as the 2026 midterm elections begin.

Meanwhile, in Alaska a disputed Senate race has led some Republicans to consider blocking Democratic nominee Mary Peltola from being seated if she wins. The broader midterm contests, including key Senate and House races across multiple states, are shaping the battle for the congressional majority.
