According to a report by The Hill, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) criticized Rep. Haley Stevens (D-Mich.) over her eleventh hour endorsement of Republican Mike Rogers in the competitive Michigan Senate contest. The Hill reported that Schumer wrote on the social platform X on Sunday, “This is a despicable betrayal from Rep. Stevens.”

The Hill said Schumer's post also reiterated his support for Democrat Abdul El-Sayed in the race. The summary of the report ends mid-sentence, noting only that Schumer's remarks are, so the complete text of the post and any further comments from Schumer are not available in the source material.

The report was written by Sophia Vento and published by The Hill on Sunday, November 1, 2026. Its headline states that Schumer called the endorsement a betrayal, which matches the language of the post as summarized in the report.

The Hill identifies Schumer as the Senate Minority Leader and Stevens as a Democratic representative from Michigan. It describes Rogers as a Republican candidate and El-Sayed as a Democratic candidate in the same contest.

The available material does not include responses from Stevens, Rogers, or El-Sayed to Schumer's post. It also does not provide additional details about the timing of Stevens's endorsement or the state of the Michigan race beyond the description of it as competitive.
