Haley Stevens appeared at a Detroit church alongside Mike Rogers, the Republican Senate candidate. This occurred amid tension between Stevens and Democratic candidate Abdul El-Sayed.
Left coverage (CBS) frames the event briefly around a 'rift' between Stevens and El-Sayed, noting Stevens' prior institutional support from Senate Democrats and her stated backing of the Democratic ticket, without detailing the cause of the conflict. Right-leaning outlets (Fox News, Washington Examiner) provide more detail on the underlying dispute, specifically citing an 'antisemitic ad dispute' and noting that El-Sayed's campaign withdrew an invitation to Stevens, while also detailing that Stevens had originally planned to attend with Democratic Rep. Jim Clyburn before the switch. Right coverage uses more charged language describing the conflict as 'sparring' and tensions that 'spill over,' and explicitly labels Rogers as a 'GOP rival.'
