What BBN said about it

  1. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorMichigan Democrat Haley Stevens endorsed Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers on Sunday, two days before Election Day, and she did it from a pew beside him at Detroit's Perfecting Church.

  2. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorShe told CNN it was a weight off her shoulders, and her party says it was a betrayal, so we have two different readings of the same shoulders.

  3. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorHer former chief of staff of eight years says he and many congressional staff resigned Sunday morning. That is a short unity event.

  4. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorTrump posted that she had been breathlessly wined and dined by Democrats.
