In final Michigan Senate debate, El-Sayed and Rogers question each other’s loyalties
Rivals traded accusations of foreign influence and national-security risk while highlighting a $9 million AIPAC spending plan, officials and reporting said.
- Democrat Abdul El-Sayed and Republican Mike Rogers held their final U.S. Senate debate yesterday at WXYZ-TV studios in Southfield, Michigan, less than two weeks before the November 3 election.
- The hour-long forum was markedly more restrained than their October 8 encounter in Grand Rapids, which devolved into personal insults and constant bickering between the candidates.
- El-Sayed repeatedly branded Rogers a "sock puppet" for Donald Trump and coined "MAGA bingo" to dismiss his opponent's talking points, while Rogers alleged El-Sayed maintains ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, a claim the Democrat denies.
- Outside groups have poured $95 million into the race, while former President Barack Obama visits Detroit on Saturday and Trump stumps in St. Clair County on Sunday, underscoring national stakes.
- Voters will decide the winner on November 3 in one of the nation's most competitive contests, with recent polling indicating the race remains a toss-up between both candidates.
