Michigan Senate debate: Key takeaways from the El-Sayed-Rogers clash

Less than two weeks before the November 3 midterm elections, Democrat Abdul El-Sayed and Republican Mike Rogers faced off Wednesday in their final debate for Michigan’s Senate seat. They traded accusations over their political views and the US-Israel war on Iran. Rogers called Donald Trump’s tariffs a “mixed bag” and said the tariffs on Canada may not have been well thought through, given the close ties between the two countries’ auto industries. He said he would back measures that benefit Michigan and pushed back against El-Sayed’s repeated references to Trump.
