Summary
Michigan GOP Senate nominee Mike Rogers said Abdul El-Sayed is vulnerable with Black and Jewish voters, arguing those defections could reshape one of the country’s closest Senate races before Nov. 3.
35,000 votes from Jewish Democrats could swing the contest, Rogers said, citing El-Sayed’s criticism of Israel and his debate answer that both Iran and Israel have been dangerous in different ways.
Detroit is another opening for Republicans, Rogers said, pointing to El-Sayed’s past criticism of Barack Obama even as Obama plans to campaign with the Democrat in the city on Oct. 24.
At the same Fox News town hall, GOP governor nominee John James attacked Democratic spending as 50% higher than under Rick Snyder and $20 billion above pandemic-era levels, while Lisa McClain cast Democrats as the party’s progressive wing.
