Sour grapes? Dems shocked as Haley Stevens breaks ranks

And let's cross now to Fraser Jackson in Washington. Fraser, as we saw there, a dramatic turnaround in the Michigan Senate race on Sunday with that move from Hayley Stephens. Tell us more about what actually happened. Yeah, it was a dramatic Sunday indeed, and it kind of capped off a week of expectation. Ultimately, you have to go back to the primary to understand this. The two people running for the Democratic ticket was Hayley Stephens, a representative already in Congress, and Abdul El-Sayed, who's tried multiple times to try to get onto the ballot and has lost a couple of races over the course of his political career. But ultimately, he bested her in the primary, And ultimately, many people believe It's a case of sour grapes and that Hayley Stevens just couldn't get over the fact that she had not won this nomination. When you hear from a lot of Democrats who spoke to her in the hours even before she made this shock turnaround, she had told people on her campaign, she told fellow Michigan representatives, including Debbie Dingell, as well as the governor of the state, Gretchen Whitmer. She'd also spoken to Jamie Ruskin, who's one of the main representatives. Democrats in the House. She said to all those people that she would not be going against the Democratic candidates, and they had tried to bury the hatchet over the course of the last few months, but things kind of came to a head in the last week, and it all is over Israel, effectively. Hayley Stephens, a staunch supporter of Israel, she was very angry at Abdel Al-Sayed for his connection to an advert which was put out, not by his campaign, but by an We'll be right back. Thank you very much. calling Abdullah Syed a jihadist and a member of the Muslim Brotherhood terror network. So there are certainly a lot of people who believe that she has lost credibility now, that she's effectively ended her democratic career, and her staff here in D.C. has also walked out on her in the wake of this announcement. And in the meantime, Donald Trump cancelled his weekend rallies only to backtrack. What actually happened there, Fraser? Yeah, so he was meant to go to Iowa and Kansas, and on Friday, we were told that he was going to be canceling those and would be holding tele-rallies, and then after some questioning about the impact that his busy campaigning had on his health, ultimately it appears Donald Trump backtracked and decided to go to those rallies. So on Sunday, he went to both, and they were indeed lengthy rallies as well, around two hours in Iowa, which meant that he then arrived late to Kansas and didn't actually get back to D.C. until about 2 o'clock in the morning. Morning. So it was a very long day for the president. But ultimately, Donald Trump here is saying that he believes the Republicans are on the verge of sweeping the House and the Senate. He said they were going to win up and down the ticket. But that is difficult to believe. If you look at the polling, every poll really has the House of Representatives flipping to the Democrats. The question now really is how big of a loss it will be for the Republicans and what everybody It's the Senate as well. Donald Trump believes that they could hold the Senate, but he, of course, has also tried to suggest to voters that he will give them $5,000 each if, indeed, the Republicans hold the House and the Senate. But that is seeming like an uphill battle at this moment.
