Michigan 2026 primary results: El-Sayed wins Democratic nomination
El-Sayed also challenged his general election rival to five debates.
El-Sayed had harsh criticism for Rogers in his remarks, calling him a 'corporate sellout' and 'the worst of all versions of the Republican Party.'
We will send you back to Florida, where you belong. Five debates. I'm hoping for an answer today.
Trump told Fox News' Trace Gallagher tonight that Michigan Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers will beat likely Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed in November.
Based on the polls, he'll do much better against Abdul than he's going to do against the congresswoman, Trump said, referring to Rep. Elissa Slotkin, whom Rogers narrowly lost to in 2024. He added that while he's 'not a big believer in polls,' he 'believes in them somewhat.'
Rogers criticized his Democratic opponent in a speech at a Michigan GOP event just now, accusing him of being 'anti-American' and repeating without evidence that El-Sayed 'believed that America deserved 9/11.'
