Mike Rogers touts Democratic defectors as he seeks to exploit divisions over Abdul El-Sayed
Mike Rogers, the Republican nominee for U.S. Senate in Michigan, stood outside a Detroit home with a small group calling itself 'Democrats for Rogers,' including an outgoing state representative, a West Bloomfield mother and a rabbi who accused Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed of tolerating antisemitism through a campaign surrogate. Rogers framed the endorsements as evidence that Democrats disillusioned with El-Sayed's progressive platform and Israel criticism have somewhere else to go.
El-Sayed's campaign spokesperson countered that Rogers would 'rubber-stamp Trump's reckless agenda,' while El-Sayed himself has spent the weeks since his primary win against Haley Stevens trying to shore up Black and Jewish support he lost in that contest. One quoted attack relied on an El-Sayed comment about Netanyahu's government that was made in a different context than presented.
