美国民主党众议员哈利·史蒂文斯（Haley Stevens）周日表示，她已经支持共和党参议员候选人迈克·罗杰斯（Mike Rogers）在密歇根州与民主党提名人阿卜杜勒·赛义德（Abdul El-Sayed）博士竞争美国参议员。这是史蒂文斯此前表示她将支持赛义德的一个惊人之举。

　　“嘿，密歇根州，你可能已经看到，我们的民主党参议员候选人阿卜杜勒说，他的竞选活动不再欢迎我，我应该离开。他是对的，这就是我今天支持迈克·罗杰斯竞选美国参议员的原因。我不属于阿卜杜勒的竞选，”史蒂文斯在一段视频中说周日发布在社交媒体上．

　　El-Sayed和Stevens在激烈的初选中针锋相对，但后来似乎修好了。然而，最近几天新的争议在史蒂文斯要求El-Sayed否认一个她认为是反犹太主义的外部组织的广告后，事情就公开了。史蒂文斯的未婚夫杰森·图尔克（Jason Turkish）也表示，他计划投票给迈克·罗杰斯（Mike Rogers），并于上周与迈克·罗杰斯和参议员特德·克鲁兹一起出席了一场活动。

　　在认可后的联合新闻发布会上，史蒂文斯为这一决定辩护说，这是对密歇根州的正确决定，并补充说，这是关于“与国家站在一起”

　　史蒂文斯说“我会投90%的票给民主党。我对参议院的投票，我只是一票，就像每个密歇根人一样。我会投迈克·罗杰斯一票。我会告诉你为什么。因为我们必须和国家站在一起。”

　　她说艾尔·赛义德将她排除在他的竞选活动之外。“我确实支持了民主党候选人，他选择以说我不受欢迎来结束他的竞选活动……这是在照镜子，看看罗杰斯是多么真正的民主党人。”

　　史蒂文斯周日还和罗杰斯一起参加了底特律的黑人教堂礼拜。罗杰斯竞选代表张贴了一张X上的照片周日早上史蒂文斯和罗杰斯并肩站在一起。

　　就在上周，史蒂文斯告诉CNN，她将投票给El-Sayed，说“你知道，我当然会投票给我们的民主党参议员候选人。我投民主党的票。”

　　El-Sayed周日参加了底特律另一所教堂的黑人教堂服务。史蒂文斯此前曾被期待与他一起出现，但在新的争端公开爆发后，联合出现受到质疑。

　　“在一天结束时，我实际上没有想到海莉·史蒂文斯，”El-Sayed周日在仪式结束后对媒体说，她与众议员吉姆·克莱本（D-S．C ．）一起参加了仪式。

　　“所以我有一种感觉，你们今天在这里是因为某些人的决定，而这些人现在并不在这里。我说的对吗？”埃尔-赛义德说。“但我只想告诉你，这个州有1000万人，他们应该从政府那里得到更多。我更关注的是9，999，998，而不是你们正在谈论的那些，”他继续说道，并提到了汽油价格、食品杂货成本以及空气和水的质量，作为密歇根州选民正在处理的问题的例子。

　　唐纳德·特朗普总统过分的赞扬史蒂文斯周日在社交媒体上支持罗杰斯，部分原因是史蒂文斯这样做显示了对密歇根州“巨大的、几乎前所未有的忠诚”。

　　但是史蒂文斯的民主党同僚迅速谴责了她的支持。

　　“这是史蒂文斯众议员的卑鄙背叛，”纽约州参议院少数党领袖查克·舒默在一份声明中写道在X上发布。“参议院民主党人团结一致支持阿卜杜勒·赛义德，因为我们知道他将为密歇根州工人家庭的经济利益而斗争，不像迈克·罗杰斯，他是唐纳德·特朗普和亿万富翁捐赠者的工具。”

　　民主党全国委员会黑人党团主席维吉尔·罗林斯在一份声明中说：“我们对国会女议员海莉·史蒂文斯揭露自己是一个利用黑人密歇根人进行政治噱头的叛徒感到沮丧。”声明由密歇根民主党发布。“众议员史蒂文斯已经迷失了方向，密歇根人知道迈克·罗杰斯是特朗普的替身，让密歇根州失望了。我们准备在周二选举阿卜杜勒。”

　　“密歇根人．．．希望领导者专注于让他们的生活更实惠。密歇根州民主党众议员黛比·丁格尔在一份声明中写道：“这才是他们正在谈论的，而不是众议员史蒂文斯为吸引注意力所做的持续努力。”关于X的声明他补充说，“我们必须继续专注于选举民主党人，这包括选举阿卜杜勒·赛义德为密歇根州的下一任参议员。”

　　Democratic Rep． Haley Stevens endorses GOP candidate Mike Rogers in Michigan US Senate race

　　Democratic U．S． Rep． Haley Stevens has endorsed Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers in Michigan＇s race for the U．S． Senate against Democratic nominee Dr． Abdul El-Sayed， she said Sunday – a stunning move after Stevens had previously said she would support El-Sayed．

　　“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． And he＇s right， and that＇s why I am endorsing Mike Rogers for the United States Senate today． I don＇t belong in Abdul＇s campaign，” Stevens said in part in a videoposted on social media on Sunday．

　　El-Sayed and Stevens faced off in an acrimonious primary， but had seemingly mended fences afterward． However， in recent days anew disputespilled out into the open after Stevens had asked El-Sayed to disavow an ad from an outside group that she said was antisemitic． Stevens＇ fiancé， Jason Turkish， has also said he plans to vote for Mike Rogers， and attended an event with Mike Rogers and Sen． Ted Cruz last week．

　　In a joint press conference after the endorsement， Stevens defended the decision as one that is right for Michigan， adding that it was about standing ＂with country．＂

　　Stevens said that “90% of the votes I＇m going to cast are going to be for Democrats． My vote for Senate， I am just one vote， as is every Michigander． My vote for Senate is going to be with Mike Rogers． And I will tell you why． Because we have to stand with country．＂

　　She said El-Sayedboxed her out of his campaign． ＂I did endorse the Democratic nominee， and he chose to close his campaign by saying I wasn＇t welcome… This is about looking in the mirror about how real Democrats for Rogers are．＂

　　Stevens also attended a Black church service on Sunday in Detroit with Rogers． A Rogers campaign representative posted aphoto on XSunday morning of Stevens and Rogers standing side-by-side at the service．

　　As recently as last week， Stevens told CNN that she would vote for El-Sayed， saying ＂Of course I＇m voting， you know， for our Democratic nominee for Senate． I＇m voting for the Democratic ticket．＂

　　El-Sayed attended a Black church service at a different church in Detroit on Sunday． Stevens had been previously expected to appear with him， but the joint appearance was thrown into doubt after the newfound dispute broke out into the open．

　　＂At the end of the day， I actually don＇t think about Haley Stevens，＂ El-Sayed said of her endorsement Sunday in remarks to the press after the service， alongside Rep． Jim Clyburn （D-S．C）， who attended the service with him．

　　“So I have a sense that you all are here today because of the decisions of somebody who＇s not here right now． Am I right about that？＂ El-Sayed said． ＂But I＇m just going to tell you， this is a state of 10 million people who deserve a lot better from the government． I＇m a lot more focused on the 9，999，998 that are not the ones you guys are talking about，” he went on， bringing up gas prices， grocery costs， and air and water quality as examples of issues Michigan voters are dealing with．

　　President Donald Trumplavished praiseon Stevens in a social media post Sunday for endorsing Rogers， saying in part that Stevens showed “great and almost unprecedented loyalty” to Michigan in doing so．

　　But Stevens＇ fellow Democrats were swift to condemn her endorsement．

　　＂This is a despicable betrayal from Rep． Stevens，＂ Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York wrote in apost on X． ＂Senate Democrats are united in our support for Abdul El-Sayed， because we know he will fight for the economic interests of working families in Michigan， unlike Mike Rogers， who is a tool of Donald Trump and billionaire donors．＂

　　“We are dismayed that Congresswoman Haley Stevens has revealed herself to be a sellout who used Black Michiganders for a political stunt，＂ Democratic National Committee Black Caucus Chair Virgie Rollins said in astatementreleased by the Michigan Democratic Party． ＂Congresswoman Stevens has lost her way， and Michiganders know that Mike Rogers is a shill for Trump and has failed Michigan． We are ready to elect Abdul on Tuesday．”

　　＂Michiganders ．．． want leaders focused on making their lives more affordable． That＇s what they＇re talking about， not Congresswoman Stevens＇ continued efforts to get attention，” Michigan Democratic Rep． Debbie Dingell wrote in astatement on X， adding， ＂we must stay focused on electing Democrats up and down the ballot， and that includes electing Abdul El-Sayed as Michigan＇s next Senator．＂
