Vance to campaign for Rogers in Howell as Michigan's Senate candidates pursue different turnout strategies

Vice President J.D. Vance will campaign for Rogers as Trump and Obama visits are followed by efforts to boost turnout.

  • On Tuesday, Vice President JD Vance rallied for Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers at Spencer J. Hardy Airport in Howell, Michigan, urging voters to support the GOP ticket before the November 3 election.
  • The event emphasizes a tight contest between Rogers and Democratic challenger Abdul El-Sayed, with recent polling showing El-Sayed at 51.4% support compared to Rogers' 45.1%, capturing significant national attention.
  • Vance blamed Democrats for rising costs, noting Michigan gas prices hit $4.76 a gallon on Tuesday, while touting a $300 billion Texas-based refinery expansion announced in March as evidence of economic success.
  • During the rally, El-Sayed faced attacks over past "defund the police" comments and warnings that Democratic policies could trigger unrest like demonstrations in France, with Vance calling him a "little weasel."
  • With the election one week away, both parties pour resources into Michigan as a key swing state; President Donald Trump and former President Barack Obama recently visited to drive turnout.
