In final Michigan Senate debate, El-Sayed and Rogers question each other’s loyalties
- On Wednesday, October 21, 2026, Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed and Republican nominee Mike Rogers held their second and final debate in Southfield, Michigan, clashing over the Iran war, American Israel Public Affairs Committee funding, and national security.
- Following a notably more combative October 8 faceoff in Grand Rapids, the debate marked the final high-profile clash before the November 3 election to replace retiring Democratic Senator Gary Peters.
- El-Sayed repeatedly invoked "MAGA bingo" to link Rogers to President Donald Trump, while Rogers accused El-Sayed of harboring ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, calling him a national security risk.
- With election day approaching, super PACs have spent a combined $95 million to boost Rogers compared to $42 million for El-Sayed, while AIPAC reportedly plans to transfer up to $9 million in final days.
- Both campaigns are mobilizing high-profile surrogates for the final stretch: former President Barack Obama will rally for El-Sayed in Detroit on Saturday, while President Trump campaigns for Rogers in St. Clair County on Sunday.
