In a shocking last-minute move just two days before the midterms, Democrat Rep. Haley Stevens of Michigan appeared at a Detroit church service Sunday morning alongside Republican Senate nominee Mike Rogers and formally endorsed him over her party’s own nominee, progressive Abdul El-Sayed.The move triggered an immediate staff exodus from her congressional office, including the resignation of her longtime chief of staff, Justin German, and her comms director, Logan Basch.Stevens, who narrowly lost the Democrat primary to El-Sayed in August before initially endorsing him, has spent recent days feuding with the nominee over Israel and antisemitism.Her fiancé, attorney Jason Turkish, publicly announced he would vote for Rogers in the days leading up to her own endorsement.Stevens herself had called on El-Sayed to condemn an ad supporting him that linked U.S. aid to Israel with rising American grocery prices, which she labeled antisemitic.Instead of backing down, El-Sayed’s campaign disinvited her from a planned unity-style church event featuring Rep. Jim Clyburn and told her to stay away.On Sunday, in a political shocker, Stevens showed up at Perfecting Church on Detroit’s east side with Rogers for “family and friends’ day.”Stevens then posted a video on X declaring, “I am endorsing Mike Rogers for the United States Senate today.”WATCH:I am endorsing Mike Rogers for the United States Senate today. https://t.co/pQgfSBuhOJ— Haley Stevens (@HaleyforMI) November 1, 2026In the video, she added that El-Sayed “said that I was no longer welcome in his campaign and that I should stay away, and he’s right. … I don’t belong in Abdul’s campaign.”Rogers praised her as a “courageous leader.”Almost immediately, reports confirmed that Stevens’ official congressional staff was quitting.Washington Sun reporter Igor Bobic reported that an auto-reply from the communications director stated they were no longer with the office as of November 1.Auto reply from Stevens’ comms director:“Hello, as of November 1st I am no longer with the Office of Congresswoman Haley Stevens.”— Igor Bobic (@igorbobic) November 1, 2026CNN’s Manu Raju reported that German, who has run Stevens’ office since she entered Congress in 2019, and communications director Basch were among those leaving amid the “staff exodus” triggered by the Rogers endorsement.Haley Stevens’ long-time chief, Justin German, and her comms director, Logan Basch, among the aides quitting amid staff exodus after her surprise endorsement of Mike Rogers in the final 48 hours of the campaign, per source— Manu Raju (@mkraju) November 1, 2026In a statement provided to Raju, German said, “As Haley Stevens’ Chief of Staff for eight years, I speak on behalf of our team in wholeheartedly supporting Abdul El-Sayed for Senate.
