JD Vance says Haley Stevens' endorsement of GOP's Mike Rogers will 'certainly' help Michigan Senate race
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Vice President addressed Rep. Haley Stevens, D-Mich., endorsement of GOP Senate candidate Mike Rogers over his Democratic opponent, Abdul El-Sayed, saying that he believes the endorsement will "certainly" help Rogers in the midterm.
Vance spoke to reporters at Joint Base Andrews following two rallies for GOP candidates in New York and Ohio, responding to a question from Fox News Digital about the impact that Stevens endorsement will have on the race.
"I certainly think it helps," Vance said. "I mean, the message is whether you're a reasonable Democrat, a Republican, a conservative, an independent or just a liberal who loves the United States of America. El-Sayed is a crazy person and Mike Rogers is a patriot."

"I do think it drives home the message, maybe gives certain voters who, you know, wouldn't normally vote for a Republican permission, knowing that the Democratic Congresswoman of Michigan is going to support Mike Rogers."
The vice president then emphasized that Rogers is a "good guy" and said he believes Michiganders are seeing El-Sayed as a "crazy guy" that would not be good for the state.

Stevens endorsed Rogers on Sunday, while taking a swipe at El-Sayed in the process.
"Hey Michigan, as you may have seen, our Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate, Abdul, said that I was no longer welcome in his campaign and that I should stay away," Stevens said. "And hes right, and thats why I am endorsing Mike Rogers for the United States Senate today. I dont belong in Abduls campaign."

Both El-Sayed and Rogers penned opinion pieces for Fox News Digital on Monday ahead of Election Day, with the two candidates laying out their reasoning for entering the race.
"Im running for Senate because no Michigander deserves to be left behind," El-Sayed wrote. "Thats why weve held over 700 events in over 120 cities. Ive sat down with Michiganders from all walks of life, all of whom are hurting from the Rogers-Trump agenda and are hungry for change."

Rogers didnt spare El-Sayed from criticism in his piece, noting his Democrat opponent's connection to far-left communist streamer and activist Hasan Piker.
"As a former Army officer and FBI street agent, I would never have imagined that I would be running against someone who associates with terrorist sympathizers. El-Sayed has invited someone to our state who openly proclaims, America deserved 9/11. He took donations from individuals linked to terrorist organizations."
