What the coverage shows

Most outlets frame the story as a sudden and politically damaging endorsement by Haley Stevens of Republican Mike Rogers, with many highlighting the backlash from Democrats and the strain with Abdul El-Sayed. Politico, NBC, Axios, the Guardian, BBC, Reuters and others emphasize the party feud and the timing before Election Day, while Fox News twice foregrounds the Detroit church photo op and later the rumor that she would not switch. Only National Review and Reason add explicitly ideological spins, and the New York Times is the only outlet in this set to stress that the split had been months in the making.
