Michigan Senate race: El-Sayed leads Rogers amid trade and citizenship controversies

Michigan Senate race Abdul El-Sayed Mike Rogers Donald Trump trade tariffs

In the Michigan U.S. Senate race, Democrat Abdul El-Sayed holds a polling lead over Republican Mike Rogers, with recent averages placing El-Sayed at approximately 48% to Rogers' 44%. The contest is considered a critical battleground race for control of the Senate.

Republican candidate Mike Rogers has recently broken with President Donald Trump by releasing advertisements calling for an end to the trade war and tariffs with Canada, arguing that Canada is an ally rather than an enemy. Trump has responded by endorsing Rogers and criticizing El-Sayed, labeling him a 'radical extremist.'

El-Sayed's campaign has faced scrutiny regarding his past claims of dual U.S.-Egyptian citizenship, which his campaign attributes to childhood misinformation. Additionally, El-Sayed has attempted to distance himself from political streamer Hasan Piker, reportedly asking Piker to moderate his rhetoric to avoid impacting the campaign.
