A shocking cross-party endorsement in Michigan, and more protests rock Europe: Weekend Rundown

Stevens backs Rogers in Michigan

Rep. Haley Stevens, D-Mich., endorsed Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers on Sunday. The race is among the top battleground contests and could determine which party controls the Senate.

The endorsement came days after a dispute with Democrat Abdul El-Sayed’s campaign over an outside advertisement Stevens described as antisemitic. NBC News reported Saturday that the campaign had asked Stevens not to attend its events.

Stevens said she was endorsing Rogers for the United States Senate. The announcement marked a rapid change in the campaign’s final stages.
