Michigan’s Senate race just delivered a GOP endorsement shock — $BTC watchers are watching

Less than 48 hours before Americans go to the polls on November 3, Democratic U.S. Representative Haley Stevens has endorsed Republican Mike Rogers in the Michigan Senate race, giving Trump-backed candidate Rogers a late boost.

Stevens narrowly lost the August Democratic Senate primary to progressive nominee Abdul El-Sayed. She confirmed her endorsement of Rogers after El-Sayed’s campaign disinvited her from a weekend unity event. President Donald Trump praised Stevens’ decision, while the Michigan Democratic Party said she was no longer a member.

The endorsement drew criticism from Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer, who called the move a betrayal. Michigan is widely viewed as a bellwether for Senate control, with the result potentially influencing the stalled CLARITY Act and the broader path for digital asset legislation.

The development comes as traders and other market observers closely track Bitcoin price predictions ahead of the US midterm elections 2026. Michigan’s Senate contest is now drawing added attention because Stevens’ decision has shifted the political dynamics in a closely watched race days before Election Day.
