WHOOPSIE!
Haley Stevens says investing in Black-owned businesses is a policy that "Mike's going to take on." Above the hallway footage, Sam Seder has a question: "Who was in charge of vetting this candidate??"
That juxtaposition is the substance of "WHOOPSIE!", a brief upload on The Majority Report w/ Sam Seder that has drawn about 92,000 views in seven hours, already well beyond the channel's usual full-day audience for Shorts.
The upload shows a screen capture of Seder's post sharing reporting from Sam Robinson. Robinson's accompanying text identifies the policy as investment in Black-owned businesses; the embedded footage catches Stevens finishing her remark before turning and walking through a doorway. There is no extended explanation from Seder, just his question above the clip.
Stevens, a Democratic congresswoman from Michigan, lost the state's Democratic Senate nomination to Abdul El-Sayed. That primary result gives Seder's question its context: he is challenging the judgment behind her candidacy, rather than offering a detailed assessment of the business policy she mentions.
A Democratic U.S. representative for Michigan’s 11th district since 2019. She sought Michigan’s Democratic Senate nomination in 2026 but lost to Abdul El-Sayed.
