Rep. Haley Stevens is asking federal officers to keep her safe after her surprise endorsement made her a target.

The Michigan congresswoman has reached out to the U.S. Marshals Service for protection, according to reports citing two senior officials in the Trump administration.

Stevens angered fellow Democrats when she pulled her support from Abdul El-Sayed late in the race and threw it behind Republican Mike Rogers.

Threats after the switch

"She has received death threats and reached out to the Marshals Service," one of the officials said.

The officials explained that such requests have to go through a set process. Even so they expect hers to be approved because she sits in Congress.

Fallout keeps coming

The backlash over the endorsement has been intense. Her own staff walked out on her over the decision.

Stevens has said she dropped El-Sayed because she does not think he is fit to serve in the Senate.

Plenty of critics are not buying that explanation and believe something else is behind her move.
