WASHINGTON, D.C. – Vice President JD Vance 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 he’s right, and that’s why I am endorsing Mike Rogers for the United States Senate today. I don’t belong in Abdul’s 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.
“I’m running for Senate because no Michigander deserves to be left behind,” El-Sayed wrote. “That’s why we’ve held over 700 events in over 120 cities. I’ve 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 didn’t 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.”

Stevens also criticized El-Sayed’s connection to Piker following her endorsement of Rogers, and has previously said Piker “should be condemned” for his extremist views.
During a livestream in May, Piker directed investigators to Neville Roy Singham as a target of subpoenas issued by the Treasury Department, saying Singham’s “operation” in the U.S. includes the openly Marxist ANSWER Coalition and the Party for Socialism and Liberation, known as PSL.
“I think that ultimately the target is probably Singham and his operation from PSL to ANSWER Coalition to CodePink — like anything that he has ever financed,” Piker said. “Not sure how much money he has now, but he’s been a funding vehicle for a lot of political movements in the country, like a lot of activism, and they hate that s—, so they’re trying to jam them up.”

A Fox News Digital investigation found that Singham has pumped $285 million into six organizations including $22.44 million to the People’s Forum, a hub for communist organizing in New York City; $1.33 million to CodePink; $68.7 million to Justice and Education Fund Inc., a nonprofit that funnels money to anonymous projects overseas; $1.098 million to BreakThrough BT Media, a propaganda arm; and $16.76 million to Tricontinental Ltd., a pro-communist think tank. The Party for Socialism and Liberation and ANSWER Coalition share office space at the People’s Forum and share leadership with the People’s Forum.
After Vance returned to Joint Base Andrews in Washington, D.C., on Monday afternoon, El-Sayed and Rogers both held rallies in Michigan in a final message to voters.
