Congresswoman Haley Stevens, who lost the Michigan Democratic Senate primary to Abdul El-Sayed, has endorsed his Republican opponent Mike Rogers. The move comes as President Trump has attacked El-Sayed, calling him a 'jihadist' and making racist remarks while campaigning in Iowa. The endorsement of a rival party candidate by a sitting Democratic congresswoman is drawing sharp criticism and debate about party loyalty in the midterm race.

Why now: A sitting Democratic congresswoman crossing party lines to back a Republican is unusual and divisive, especially amid Trump's inflammatory attacks on El-Sayed
