Nov 2, 2026 · 29m

Summary

This episode analyzes the shocking decision by Michigan Representative Haley Stevens to endorse Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers two days before the election, a move the hosts describe as self-destructive and driven by personal grievances rather than policy. The discussion details Stevens' erratic behavior, including false claims about being excluded from the Democratic campaign, and contrasts her endorsement with the unified response from national Democratic leaders who condemned her betrayal.
