Stevens backs El-Sayed after her fiancé says he'll vote for Rogers

Rep. Haley Stevens said Wednesday she still supports Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed after her fiancé, Jason Turkish, announced he will vote for Republican nominee Mike Rogers.⁠[13, 25] 'Like a lot of households in America, we're a household divided,' Stevens told CNN.⁠[13] Breitbart reported Stevens said she believes El-Sayed 'can' and 'will' denounce an ad she called dangerous that blames Jews for the cost of groceries.⁠[16]

President Trump has attacked El-Sayed on the campaign trail, calling him a 'jihadist,' and Politico reported those attacks are dominating the race's homestretch.⁠[12, 24] El-Sayed brushed off what he called 'desperate, bad faith attacks,' according to Politico.⁠[12]

A CNN poll found El-Sayed at 49 percent to Rogers' 42 percent in Michigan.⁠[3] If elected, CBS News reported, El-Sayed would become the first Muslim U.S. senator in American history.⁠[7]
