Some House Democrats want Rep. Haley Stevens (D-Mich.) expelled from their caucus, according to an Axios report, after she crossed party lines to endorse Republican Mike Rogers for Senate on Sunday.
Axios described the proposed step as extraordinary and said it reflects deep internal resentment toward Stevens within her own party. The summary available for this story does not identify which Democrats support the push or explain how a caucus expulsion would be carried out.
Axios quoted Rep. Lateefah Simon (D-Calif.), who told the outlet, "I hope she doesn't return to work on Tuesday." The excerpt of the report used for this story ends partway through Simon's remarks, so the rest of her comments are not available here.
Axios's headline refers to a push for removal, while its summary uses the word expelled. The summary does not say whether any formal vote or other action has been taken, and it gives no count of members who back the effort.
Stevens's endorsement of Rogers, which Axios said came on Sunday, is the event at the center of the report. The summary available for this story does not describe the endorsement further, including any reasons Stevens gave for backing a Republican.
The summary does not name any Democrat other than Simon who is quoted on the matter. Its characterization of internal resentment toward Stevens is presented without a named source.
The Axios summary does not include a response from Stevens or her office. Axios is the only outlet whose reporting was available for this account, and the details above come from its summary alone.
