Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI) canceled her appearance at a post-midterm elections analysis event at George Washington University, following backlash for endorsing Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers. The event, hosted by GWU's Graduate School of Political Management, was set to examine the 2026 election results' impact on America's political future. Stevens, who lost the Democratic Senate primary to Abdul El-Sayed, switched her support to Rogers just days before the election, leading to resignations and death threats. Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) replaced her on the panel.
Stevens' endorsement of Rogers, after being uninvited from a campaign event by El-Sayed, drew strong condemnation from Democratic leaders, including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, who called it a 'despicable betrayal.' The backlash led to Stevens seeking protection from the U.S. Marshals Service. The event at GWU will now feature Raskin alongside other panelists, including CNN's Manu Raju and progressive strategist Morris Katz.
