The congresswoman who lost the Democratic primary to Abdul El-Sayed is defending her decision to switch her to endorsement to Republican Mike Rogers in the leadup to Tuesday’s election.
Stevens posted Wednesday on X that she didn’t regret the change but that she originally endorsed El-Sayed. She pointed to her strong support for U.S. ally Israel.
It’s clear to me Michigan voters also don’t regret ditching you as a Senator candidate.
“Flip flop”?
Oh she just “flip flopped”, did she?
I think she betrayed the people who supported her.
She doesn’t regret because she got her money.
Heighly who?
You know, Haley Stevens (R-Mich). She ran in the Democratic primary after being selected by Democratic leadership.
“My commitment to seeing brown children mutilated is as strong as ever, stronger even than my loyalty to my own country! My racist ass losing to a brown person has nothing to do with this, I am 100% all in purely for the pleasure of it!” - Haley
Fuck you Haley, no one cares. Goodbye
She knows well who butters her bread.
She’ll be remembered accordingly.
Sure, buddy. Whatever.
That’s the problem… you should be.
I saw a video this morning of her being cheerfully excited that “We” had won so much last night.
Bitch, “We” didn’t win anything. Your political career is OVER.
I’m glad she did, it brought Abdul more to the forefront and probably gained him a few more votes.
presumably will run as republican soon.
Nah, she’s dead in the water. It’s the speaking circuit.

That’s what I’m thinking. She wants to keep being a politician, it doesn’t matter for which side to her.
I shat myself on purpose!
Ok, whatever, bye.
Perfect comment, no notes. Heh.
We would have also accepted “weird flex but ok”
Why do we care about what she thinks? She outlived her usefulness days ago.
She outlived her usefulness months ago, when she lost the primary. This was just her last blast, as she desperately gasped for air before finally going down forever.
I actually suspect that her sudden flip helped El-Sayed, by preventing any protest voters who were still allied with her. Just like the Bernie protest voters who refused to vote for Hillary, but were then shocked and dismayed when Trump won. Her coming out and endorsing the republican immediately killed any desire to protest-vote, and ensured that the entire party was allied behind El-Sayed.
I don’t think it was a make-or-break situation. But it definitely contributed to him winning by such a large margin that there’s no room for his opponent to cry for a recount.

Did that happen in any real numbers? It always like like a weak Russian psyop to me.
More Hilary voters switched for McCain over Obama in 2008.
