Republican Senate nominee Mike Rogers is reaching out to Michigan Democrats after Abdul El-Sayed’s primary victory. Rogers assured them that there is still hope and they have a home with his campaign.
El-Sayed’s Primary Victory
El-Sayed, a far-left progressive, narrowly defeated Rep. Haley Stevens in the Democratic primary. Rogers will face El-Sayed in the November election.
Rogers addressed Democratic voters directly, saying that his campaign is a home for those who feel their values are not reflected in El-Sayed’s candidacy. He also accused El-Sayed’s campaign of promoting anger, divisiveness, and calls for violence.
Rogers’ outreach to Democrats was praised by some conservatives and pundits on social media. Former DSA member Jake Altman wrote that he will vote for Rogers, saying that this is not a time to sit on your hands.
Rogers’ Message to Democrats
Rogers said that the fight is far greater than just left versus right, and that it is for the very soul of the nation. He also emphasized that Michigan deserves a senator who is ready to sit with voters, hear from them, and represent them.
Rogers’ campaign is focused on issues such as education, housing affordability, and taxes. He said that parents who want an education system that sets up their kids for success have a home with his campaign.
