European media
BBCPublic broadcasterThe GuardianNon-profitFinancial TimesPrivate
European media foregrounds the Democratic split, centring Haley Stevens and Abdul El-Sayed's clash and Stevens's surprise church appearance with Republican Mike Rogers. The Guardian frames it as Stevens endorsing 'Abdul El-Sayed’s Republican rival Mike Rogers', while the Financial Times calls it a 'Michigan feud' that 'threatens Democratic unity'. Outlets quote Stevens saying 'I don't belong in Abdul's campaign' and note El-Sayed 'has not commented' on the endorsement.
Asian media
South China Morning PostPrivate
South China Morning Post foregrounds Democratic party infighting, framing Stevens's endorsement of Rogers as a 'startling display of party infighting' two days before the midterms. It centres reactions from Trump, who praised her 'bravery', and from Chuck Schumer, who called it a 'despicable betrayal', alongside Stevens's own claim that 'Abdul made very clear that I was not welcome in his campaign'. It also notes that most polls put El-Sayed narrowly ahead of Rogers.

In their words
What the people at the centre of this story said, word for word, with the article each quote appeared in.
Wow, this is BIG!
it had become way too distracting
Our Democratic nominee for Senate said I was no longer welcome in his campaign and that I should stay away
despicable betrayal … revealed herself to be a sell-out
bravery … Haley said what few people are willing to say
At the end of the day, I actually don’t think about Haley Stevens. I think about the 9,999,998 people who are not those two
intent on relitigating a primary that ended three months ago.
