    Buttigieg calls Stevens' endorsement of Rogers a non-factor

    Appearing on CNN, Buttigieg said he was surprised by Democratic Rep. Haley Stevens' endorsement of Republican Mike Rogers but argued it would not change the race's dynamics for Michigan voters, framing the contest as a clear choice on healthcare and campaign finance.

    “Whatever Haley Stevens says isn't going to change that for me, and I don't think it's changing that for a lot of Michiganders either.”
