Democratic Representative Haley Stevens of Michigan was reportedly hiding in the Republican cloakroom during Congress's first day back in session, according to The Washington Sun. Stevens, who endorsed Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers just days before the election, faced backlash from her own party. Despite her actions, Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed won the Senate seat. More than half of Stevens' staff have resigned, and Democratic leaders have condemned her actions, with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer calling it a 'despicable betrayal'. However, outgoing Representative Nancy Pelosi suggested that it is too early to make judgments about Stevens' future in the caucus.
