What the coverage shows
Most outlets converge on Haley Stevens’s endorsement of Republican Mike Rogers as the central development, and many frame it as a dramatic late break from Abdul El-Sayed in a close Michigan Senate race. Politico, the Guardian, NBC News, AP, and CBS emphasize the intraparty rift and its fallout, while Axios and CNBC stress the electoral implications; Fox News and The Hill give extra attention to the reaction from Trump and conservative voices.
