Democrats condemn Haley Stevens’ ‘betrayal’ following endorsement of Republican Mike Rogers
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.
