Michigan GOP Candidate Bets on a Delicate Canada Tariff Balance

Michigan Senate hopeful Mike Rogers is trying to thread a political needle on Trump’s Canada tariffs: endorsing some tariffs as necessary to shield the state’s manufacturing base while signaling he can pressure a path to end the trade war, given Michigan’s roughly $80 billion in yearly cross-border trade with Ontario. His nuanced stance aims to protect Michigan jobs without fully breaking with the White House, a move that divides Republicans and fuels Democratic critique as auto and manufacturing interests warn tariffs could harm the state’s economy.

Vance brands El-Sayed 'evil' as Michigan Senate race intensifies

At a Detroit-area rally backing Mike Rogers, Vance labeled Abdul El-Sayed 'evil' and warned him to keep his wife out of the conversation, after El-Sayed suggested Vance's late grandfather wouldn’t accept his Hindu wife. El-Sayed fired back accusing the Trump administration of pursuing 'evil' policies, while the race remains tight in polling as El-Sayed leads Rogers narrowly in the key Michigan contest.

El-Sayed Seeks Jewish Voters Amid Piker-Linked Storm in Michigan Senate Race

Michigan Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed apologized for comments after a synagogue attack and tried to mend fences with Jewish Democrats, but Republican Mike Rogers called the apology a sham and pressed El-Sayed on his ties to streamer Hasan Piker. El-Sayed defended his remarks as taken out of context while condemning the attack and stressing safety for all communities, and he emphasized independence from Piker’s views. The dispute underscores broader Democratic Party tensions over Israel and antisemitism as Rogers pursues an open battleground seat with Jewish voters split and Piker’s involvement remaining a flashpoint.

Arab American Voters Reassess GOP Loyalty in Michigan Senate Battle

Michigan’s Arab American community, which helped Donald Trump win the state in 2024, is increasingly souring on the GOP as concerns over Gaza, Iran, and perceived Islamophobic rhetoric grow. The shift threatens Mike Rogers’ Senate bid against Abdul El-Sayed, a Muslim candidate with Egyptian heritage, as community leaders say trust in Republicans has eroded and outreach has waned, potentially affecting tight statewide and Senate races in a state with the nation’s largest Arab American population.

Rogers Bets on Jewish Votes in Michigan Senate Race Amid Israel Policy Debate

In Michigan’s tight Senate race, Republican Mike Rogers is ramping up outreach to Jewish voters — including targeted ads and an open letter from Jewish Democrats backing him — as Abdul El-Sayed emphasizes a nuanced stance on Israel; experts say the effort is unlikely to substantially shift a long-standing Democratic bloc, and turnout along with voters’ views on Israel in a diverse electorate will largely determine the race.

Rogers vs. El-Sayed: Seven Policy Battles Shaping Michigan’s Senate Race

Bridge Michigan outlines seven defining issues in Michigan’s open U.S. Senate race between Republican Mike Rogers and Democrat Abdul El-Sayed, including health care, affordability, the economy, housing, data centers/AI, money in politics, and immigration. Rogers emphasizes tax relief for working families, manufacturing revival, a housing plan, and alignment with Trump, while El-Sayed advocates Medicare-for-All, a wealth tax, stronger anti-monopoly rules, and public control ideas for AI. The race hinges on outside spending, candidate backgrounds and faith, and the Trump factor, with national implications for control of the Senate.

Democrats for Rogers: Michigan's Senate race tests cross-party appeal

Republican former Rep. Mike Rogers unveils a 'Democrats for Mike Rogers' coalition in Detroit, attempting to draw disaffected Democrats away from Abdul El-Sayed as Michigan's Senate race remains tight. Rogers argues some Democrats would support him to back a less-polarizing alternative and emphasizes cross-party trust, while El-Sayed faces scrutiny of his left-wing positions and Israel stance. The rollout features Democrats and a rabbi backing Rogers, and polls show a small Rogers lead in a GOP-unity-driven Fox News poll, with the race still highly competitive ahead of the midterms.

Rogers backs one-year moratorium on Michigan data centers in Senate race

As he campaigns for Michigan’s open U.S. Senate seat, Republican Mike Rogers backs a one-year pause on new data centers to establish a fair, local-first approval process and stronger guardrails, while opposing a federal ban. His stance marks a shift from his earlier support for data-center growth and contrasts with Democrat Abdul El-Sayed’s call for stricter standards without a broad moratorium; the issue has become a campaign flashpoint amid broader national debates over data centers and utility impacts.

Rogers Opens Lead in Michigan Senate Poll as Dem Primary Rift Emerges

A Fox News survey of Michigan registered voters (Aug. 6–10) shows Republican Mike Rogers leading Abdul El-Sayed 51% to 47% in the race to replace retiring Sen. Gary Peters, with Rogers buoyed by near-universal GOP unity and El-Sayed hindered by divisions from a divisive Democratic primary. The poll highlights lingering concerns about El-Sayed among non-DSA Democrats and independents, while Democrats hope he can unite the base before Election Day in a swing state crucial to Senate control.

El-Sayed’s ‘no safe quarter’ jab stirs backlash in Michigan Senate race

Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed drew online backlash with a vow of five debates against Republican Mike Rogers and a promise there would be 'no safe quarter' from accountability, a line critics say risks escalating hostile rhetoric. Conservatives highlighted El-Sayed’s overseas property disclosures (Dubai and India) to question his credibility on accountability. The remark comes as El-Sayed moves from his primary victory toward a November 3, 2026 general election, spotlighting the broader progressive-versus-establishment debate within the party and the scrutiny he faces from opponents and pundits.

Trump’s Michigan rally: ‘I’ve done more for you than your parents’ shocks autoworkers

Trump delivered a lengthy, rally-style speech at General Motors’ Milford Proving Ground in Michigan, portraying himself as the champion of autoworkers, branding UAW president Shawn Fain as a Democrat, and using the moment to stump for Senate hopeful Mike Rogers; he declared, 'I’ve done more for you than your parents,' railed at Democrats and the media, mocked Mexico’s pronunciation, and touted a future, booming economy with little in the way of new policy detail.

Rogers privately signals confidence in Michigan Senate bid depending on Dem nominee

In a June private call with supporters, Michigan Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers said his campaign is in “pretty good shape” and that he would be in a strong position if Abdul El-Sayed becomes the Democratic nominee, arguing El-Sayed is too radical and would lose parts of the state. Democrats counter that Rogers is attempting to boost El-Sayed’s candidacy and that he could face either El-Sayed or Haley Stevens in the general election.

Trump Eyes Major Overhaul of FBI Leadership

President-elect Donald Trump is considering a significant shake-up at the FBI by potentially firing current director Christopher Wray and appointing Mike Rogers, a former FBI agent and Michigan congressman, as the new director. Trump is also contemplating Kash Patel, a controversial MAGA loyalist, for the deputy director role, despite concerns about his lack of experience and potential to politicize the bureau. This plan aims to balance Senate Republican concerns with MAGA supporters' demands for more allies in top positions. However, nothing is finalized until Trump announces it on Truth Social.
