Haley Stevens attended a church service in Detroit alongside Senate candidate Mike Rogers, where she noted his support for investing in Black-owned businesses. Rogers confirmed this policy will be part of his platform with the line "And THAT'S the policy Mike is going to take on!" and added "Businesses and that is a policy that Mike's going to take up. Okay. Let's go." Stevens previously ran for Senate as a Democrat before Abdul Mohamed ended his association with her after that run. The author believes Mohamed may switch parties to Independent or Republican given what he witnessed. This interaction characterizes Democrats negatively based on how they treated Stevens.
