Michigan Senate candidates clash in first debate
Original: In combative first Michigan Senate debate, Rogers and El-Sayed trade attacks
Republican Mike Rogers and Democrat Abdul El-Sayed met in their first debate for Michigan's open US Senate seat, in what was described as a combative exchange with both trading attacks. The contest is a key race in next year's midterm elections, and the sharp tone signals the campaign is already escalating. Little detail about specific exchanges beyond the general confrontation has been reported so far.
Why now: The debate marks the opening clash in a closely watched Senate race ahead of the 2026 midterms
