Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI) canceled plans to attend a post-midterm elections analysis event at George Washington University in Washington, D.C., after the outgoing congresswoman faced significant backlash for her endorsement of former Michigan Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers.
GWU’s Graduate School of Political Management is set to host an event Thursday night examining what the 2026 election results mean for America’s political future. Stevens was announced as a panelist last month, but the school sent out a notice on the day of the event informing attendees that she will no longer be attending.
“We have been informed that Congresswoman Haley Stevens is no longer able to attend the event,” the announcement said.
The message noted that Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) will remain a panelist at the event. He will be joined by Morris Katz, who ran the social media for New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s campaign, as well as Inside Elections editor and publisher Nathan Gonzales and CNN anchor Kasie Hunt.
Following Stevens cancellation, Executive Director of the Graduate School of Political Management Debbie Mucarsel-Powell was announced as a panelist in lieu of the congresswoman.
