After former senator Gary Peters (D-MI) stepped down from his position, Rep. Haley Stevens (D) announced her intention to run for his seat. Michigan, which Trump handily won in 2024, is a crucial swing state, and the Democrats have been scrambling to select a replacement, wasting DNC resources in the race against a competent Republican party.
Putting herself forward, Stevens made her woke ideology clear when she declared her opposition to “Trump-Musk chaos agenda.” Additionally, she whined about the Israel-Hamas war and tried to paint herself as a working-class hero.
In any case, while describing her values, the woke Michigan Representative whined about Elon Musk and repeated tired lies about social security. She stated, “We have people who are worried about their earned benefits because Elon Musk said that Social Security is a Ponzi scheme.”
Touting her own accolades, the entitled Democrat added, “When the auto industry was about to go belly up during the Great Recession, I stepped up to the plate to…help save over 200,000 Michigan jobs.” Theatrically, she added, “I’m putting up my hand in this moment to do what I have always done, which is stand up for the people of Michigan.”
Immediately pivoting to foreign policy, Stevens whined, “I want to see the war in the Middle East end and I want to see the remaining hostages return home to their families… I am the co-chair of the hostage task force in the United States Congress, given the work I did to free Paul Whelan. I want to see an enduring cease-fire that will allow for true peace for the Palestinian people and for Israel.”
Attacking her Republican opponent, the tasteless Democrat claimed,”We all know that Mike Rogers sold out Michigan. He left the state of Michigan, and I will always have Michigan’s back.” Turning back to self-aggrandizing, the rep stated, “I have a very unique and special expertise in manufacturing and in Michigan’s manufacturing economy and workforce. I tell people all the time that as a four-term sitting member of Congress, I get to go to the U.S. House of Representatives and brag about Michigan.”
In any case, Sen. Gary Peters announced his decision to step down, which will significantly decrease the chances for the DNC to retake the Senate in 2026. Breaking the news, he said, “After three terms in the House and two terms in the Senate, I believe now is the time for me to write a few more paragraphs in my current chapter and then turn over the reins. I will therefore not seek reelection in 2026.”

Building on this point, Peters made it clear that he would continue his work as a woke activist. He declared, Although I will not be on the ballot next year, I will not just walk away. I plan to actively campaign to ensure we elect a dynamic Democratic candidate to be the next U.S. senator from Michigan. … I’m leaving Congress, but I am not retiring. I look forward to writing many more chapters when my term ends, and I do not know what those chapters will be.”
