Donald Trump says Haley Stevens showed "a thing called bravery" for backing Republican Mike Rogers
“Haley said what few people are willing to say. She showed great and almost unprecedented loyalty to the Great People of Michigan with what she did. It’s a thing called bravery, and few people have it like just displayed by Congresswoman Haley Stevens!”

President Donald Trump used Truth Social to praise Michigan Democratic Rep. Haley Stevens for supporting Mike Rogers, the Republican candidate for Senate, at an event in Detroit on Sunday. The endorsement came amid a dispute involving Abdul El-Sayed, who had won their Democratic primary. In an X video, Stevens declared El-Sayed unwelcome on the campaign and faulted commentator Hasan Piker, a campaigner for El-Sayed. She had appeared with Rogers at Perfecting Church before announcing her support. Michigan Democrats, including party chair Curtis Hertel, criticized her choice; Stevens described herself as still a proud Democrat. The friction traced to a Rebellion PAC ad linking Israel to high U.S. grocery costs, which El-Sayed’s campaign said he was not connected to and condemned. Trump’s message focused on Stevens’s choice.
