Michigan's El-Sayed, Rogers to Meet for Final Debate Before Early in-Person Voting Begins
The candidates will clash over costs, trade and health care as Republicans press attacks on El-Sayed’s faith and ideology.
- On Wednesday, Oct. 21, Democrat Abdul El-Sayed and Republican Mike Rogers faced off at WXYZ-TV in Detroit for their final scheduled debate in the race to replace retiring U.S. Sen. Gary Peters.
- Republican efforts to portray El-Sayed as soft on radical Islamism have dominated the race, though El-Sayed has repeatedly disavowed the Muslim Brotherhood and denied any organizational ties.
- El-Sayed criticized President Donald Trump's trade war with Canada, saying his tariff policy was "chaotic, ham-fisted, and self-serving," while Rogers defended the tariffs as correcting "40 years of bad trade policy."
- With just 13 days until Election Day, both candidates have high-profile support arriving: former President Barack Obama will campaign for El-Sayed in Detroit on Saturday, Oct. 24, and Trump will visit St. Clair County for Rogers on Sunday, Oct. 25.
- Both parties are fighting for control of Congress, adding national significance to the final stretch of this race, where the winner is guaranteed to serve Michigan for the next six years.
