Mike Rogers Wins Republican Nomination in Michigan Senate Race

Trump backs Mike Rogers in Michigan's Senate race while repeating false Wayne County fraud claims that officials say lack evidence.

  • On Wednesday, President Donald Trump endorsed Republican U.S. Senate candidate Mike Rogers in a Truth Social post while repeating claims about election fraud in Wayne County.
  • Former FBI special agent and Congressman Rogers secured the GOP nomination for Michigan's open Senate seat on Tuesday after facing no primary opposition, aided by Trump's early endorsement.
  • Republican Senate candidate Rogers drew backlash Wednesday after misidentifying Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed, attributing 2019 comments about the September 11 attacks made by influencer Hasan Piker to the candidate.
  • Democratic strategist Leslie Marshall joined critics calling out the error, as Rogers maintained he is "running against someone who believes America deserved 9/11."
  • The November 3, 2026, general election between Rogers and El-Sayed is expected to be highly competitive and could determine control of the U.S. Senate following Senator Gary Peters' retirement.
