Haley Stevens Heel Turns On Abdul El-Sayed + Remembering Juan Atkins

Haley Stevens Heel Turns On Abdul El-Sayed + Remembering Juan Atkins2. Nov.31 Min.

Norris Howard and I unpack a massive election eve bombshell as U.S. Representative Haley Stevens makes a last-minute turn against fellow Democrat Abdul El-Sayed to endorse Republican Mike Rogers for U.S. Senate. Who knew we'd have a November surprise, and that it'd look just like a wrestling storyline.

We break down the immediate fallout across Michigan politics, the massive fundraising backlash, and what this high-stakes political drama means for local voters.

Plus, we pay tribute to the legendary Juan Atkins, the Belleville Three pioneer and undisputed originator of Detroit techno, following his sudden passing at age 64.
