The endorsement came after Stevens appeared alongside Rogers at a church service in Detroit.
After a tough primary fight, Stevens had eventually backed El-Sayed but last week said she would not campaign for him unless he denounced a controversial ad that blamed U.S. aid to Israel for the rising cost of living. Several Jewish organizations have said the ad, which was made by an outside group, is antisemitic.
Stevens, in her video endorsing Rogers, expressed disapproval of the left-wing internet personality Hasan Piker, a critic of Israel who supports El-Sayed.
