Michigan Democratic Representative Haley Stevens has dropped a bomb on the Michigan political scene by endorsing Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers after losing the Democratic primary to Abdul El-Sayed, despite previously warning that Rogers would support policies harmful to Michigan. Jimmy describes Stevens's explanation—that El-Sayed's campaign no longer welcomed her—as an excuse, and argues that her endorsement undermines Democratic efforts to retain control of the Senate.
He also keys on connections between Stevens, Rogers, pro-Israel political spending, and foreign-agent lobbying, highlighting the role of Abigail Ronson and the lobbying firm Clock Tower, while questioning the larger influence of pro-Israel interests on American elections. The segment also discusses criticism from Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer, allegations from a former Stevens campaign worker, and reporting that Stevens's fiancé pressured her over her initial support for El-Sayed, with Jimmy arguing that the episode illustrates the influence of outside political money and foreign-policy interests.
