Democrats fear slippage with Black voters makes Michigan Senate race feel ‘far closer than it should’
Democrats worry weak Black turnout could erase El-Sayed’s narrow primary edge and make the Michigan Senate race harder to win.
- On Tuesday, the Michigan Senate race between Democratic candidate Abdul El-Sayed and Republican US Senate candidate Mike Rogers remains competitive as El-Sayed works to solidify support among Black voters.
- Democratic control of the Senate depends on retaining the Michigan seat, as the party needs a net gain of four seats on November 3 to win control.
- Former President Barack Obama will attend a Saturday rally in Detroit with El-Sayed and Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson to boost Democratic turnout and ease lingering doubts.
- Republican candidate Mike Rogers has opened a Detroit office and aired television advertisements targeting Black voters, stating he has "built coalitions that really are very untraditional for a Republican candidate."
- More than $280 million has been spent on television advertisements during this midterm cycle, yet political leaders continue questioning whether sufficient enthusiasm exists among Black voters.
