Working class people’s lives are on the ballot on Tuesday—their healthcare, their rent, their bills. Haley Stevens just betrayed them by endorsing the very Republican she said she wanted to run against.
I am endorsing Mike Rogers for the United States Senate today.

How cynical. If Haley Stevens had gotten just a few more votes in the primary, @MikeRogers would be running her through his wood chipper right now for coddling immigrants, and criminals and all the golden oldies Republican candidates are counting on in this election to distract from an unpopular president, rising costs and a senseless war that has sent prices soaring. But, man, Mike just loves and honors Haley today! My recommendation to Haley? Don't inhale.
Representative Haley Stevens is a courageous leader who deserves the respect of every Michigan voter. She has conducted herself with nothing but class since the Democratic primary, a primary where a majority of voters did not vote for her party’s nominee. She was absolutely right to call on Abdul El-Sayed to denounce the Rebellion PAC ad and she was right to call on him to apologize for espousing the same hateful ideology behind it. Representative Stevens’ statement expressed a hope that Abdul El-Sayed “had heard the deep concerns of the Jewish Community.” It is as shameful as it is disappointing that his response to her clearly shows that he does not care about those concerns.  In her statement, the Congresswoman says, “ the Jewish and African-American communities of my district deserve to have someone show up for them, rather than fight over them.” I agree with her and my campaign is about being there, showing up and defending these communities and all Michiganders.

So @HaleyforMI didn’t feel welcome at a political event, so now she doesn’t care if Democrats win the Senate. She’s against “hate” while supporting one of the most hateful campaigns in memory. She endorsed then unendorsed then endorsed then unendorsed her former rival, who she promised to unite behind, after endlessly repeating (correctly!) that Mike Rogers MUST be defeated. What an incoherent disgrace. Hope this anger drives people to do whatever they can to help @AbdulElSayed win.

Haley Stevens chief of staff Justin German says: "We are shocked and heartbroken" by Stevens decision to endorse Rogers "As of this morning, many members of our team have resigned, including myself."

Standing with Miker Rogers is a betrayal of everything Haley Stevens has fought for her entire career. It's also a betrayal of all of her supporters that believed in her. I hope @AbdulElSayed has a strong victory on Tuesday and that all Democrats and like-minded independents support vote for him.
HAPPENING NOW: Congresswoman Haley Stevens joins Mike Rogers at church in Detroit this morning. We have a state to save, Michigan.

This is the single most unproductive, selfish thing a Democratic candidate has done all cycle and likely many cycles before that. Having misjudged candidates in the past myself, I hope everyone who tried to recruit, support, and defend Haley can now admit what a mistake it was.
Replying to @samueljrob
Stevens says she’s for investing in Black owned businesses. “And that’s the policy that Mike’s going to take on,” Stevens says.

On the eve of the eve of the eve of our BIG and important election, a unifying moment has arrived, our democratic nominee for U.S Senate disavows the Rebellion PAC ad made by Hasan Piker’s uncle that claims Jews are responsible for America’s economic woes. We have learned from party leaders and emissaries, as reported in the news media that he has. On Sunday I will join with the Great Democratic leader, Jim Clyburn and Dr El Sayed for a church service in the beautiful city of Detroit. The political coalition of Black and Jewish voices that have carried Michigan and this country through so many storms to the righteous path of liberal democracy and equal opportunity for all will ring out.

Hot take: I think Democrats flip 5-8 state senate seats in New York and end Republicans ability to govern in New York State for a generation.

This election is our last chance to at least rein in some of the foolishness of this Administration. We need real leadership with concrete plans to lower costs, make health care more affordable, make housing more affordable, and get utility bills under control. Let’s do what we can to make @KeishaBottoms the next Governor of Georgia. Let’s go send Jon @Ossoff back to the Senate. And let’s put this country back on the path to a better future.

These are serious times—and we need serious people representing us in Washington, DC and in states across the country. Georgia, I hope you’re fired up and ready to vote for @KeishaBottoms for Governor and send Jon @Ossoff back to the U.S. Senate. Jon and Keisha will fight for you, and they’ve got real plans to build a better Georgia. Reach out to your family and friends and encourage them to vote. Let’s get it done!

We talk a lot about once in a generation political talents, but I think Obama is a once in a lifetime political talent.
