众议员史蒂文斯初选落败后倒戈：密歇根参议员选战背书共和党候选人罗杰斯
密歇根州韦恩县 Detroit 市，民主党联邦众议员 Haley Stevens 在11月3日中期选举前夕公开倒戈：她在此前的民主党初选中败给参议员候选人 Abdul El-Sayed 后，于周末转而支持共和党候选人 Mike Rogers，而非本党提名人。这一背书令密歇根州本已胶着的参议员选战在选前最后一个周末进一步升温。
El-Sayed 的竞选团队表示，Stevens 倒戈之后，El-Sayed 在11月1日星期日筹款240万美元，创下其竞选的单日最高纪录，资金主要来自小额捐款。El-Sayed 是一名医生、前公共卫生官员，若当选将成为首位穆斯林美国参议员。
密歇根州参议员席位被视为决定参议院控制权归属的关键席位之一，选民将于11月3日投票。

Rep. Stevens, Beaten in the Primary, Crosses Over to Back Republican Rogers in Michigan Senate Race
In Detroit, Wayne County, Michigan, Democratic U.S. Representative Haley Stevens crossed party lines on the eve of the November 3 midterms: after losing the Democratic primary to Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, she switched over the weekend to backing Republican candidate Mike Rogers instead of her own party's nominee, heating up an already tight Senate race in its final weekend.
El-Sayed's campaign said that after Stevens' switch, it raised $2.4 million on Sunday, November 1, its largest single-day fundraising haul, fueled by small-dollar donations. El-Sayed, a physician and former public health official, would become the first Muslim elected to the U.S. Senate if he wins.
Michigan's Senate seat is seen as one of the keys to control of the chamber; voters will decide on November 3.
