Stevens, whose eleventh-hour endorsement of the Republican Senate candidate rocked the Democratic Party over the weekend, attempted to defend the move on CNN late Sunday
After Haley Stevens announced her decision to back Mike Rogers in the Michigan US Senate race, she defended her move in an interview with CNN on Sunday.
“This is just a weight off my shoulders. Abdul [El-Sayed] has been getting angrier and angrier,” she said, referring to the Democratic nominee. However, anchor Anderson Cooper pressed Stevens on what had changed, considering there were reports that just hours before pulling her support, the congresswoman had told Democratic colleagues that she was still backing El-Sayed.
