Republican Mike Rogers Courts Michigan Democrats and Trump Voters as GOP Hopes to Hold the Senate – WTOP News
Rogers is targeting Black and Jewish Democrats as ad spending tops $125 million and the open-seat race becomes a Senate control battleground.
- Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers is aggressively courting Detroit voters, including Black and Jewish residents, to build a coalition after narrowly losing his previous bid two years ago.
- Democrat Abdul El-Sayed faces internal party friction over his opposition to U.S. military aid to Israel and his call for Israel's Gaza campaign to be labeled "genocide," prompting some Jewish Democrats to shift toward Rogers.
- Super PACs have poured almost $125 million into the Michigan Senate race since August, with No Going Back, a MAGA Inc.-linked group, spending $18.5 million on ads highlighting El-Sayed's past association with left-wing streamer Hasan Piker.
- Vice President Kamala Harris plans to campaign with El-Sayed in Michigan on Tuesday, and state party chair Curtis Hertel dismissed Rogers' efforts, saying, "I don't think anyone's buying it."
- Control of the Senate hinges on this open seat; if Rogers wins, Republicans retain their majority even if Democrats gain four GOP-held seats in November, making his appeal to Democratic voters strategically vital.
