Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI) has made scattered public appearances since her hairbreadth loss in the August Senate Democratic primary. In each one, Stevens has endorsed former rival Abdul el Sayed in his Nov. 3 race against Republican Mike Rogers for the Michigan seat held by retiring 12-year Sen. Gary Peters (D).

Some of Stevens’s comments came from impromptu Capitol Hill corridor interviews with reporters. She also joined freshman Rep. George Whitesides (D-CA) in an Oct. 6 interview on his YouTube series “Capitol Heat,” where politicians answer candid questions while eating increasingly spicy chicken wings. A couple of days later, Stevens crashed the Washington bureau of TMZ. On the celebrity news show, she laughed and joked with hosts Harvey Levin and Charles Latibeaudiere.
