Justin Amash Says Mike Rogers Would Be More Dangerous Than Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan Senate Race

2 articles · Updated · Fox News · Nov 3

Summary

  • Justin Amash said he voted for neither candidate in Michigan’s Senate race but argued Mike Rogers would be “far more dangerous” in the U.S. Senate than Abdul El-Sayed.
  • Amash said El-Sayed would likely follow Bernie Sanders on policy, yet remain constrained by government structure, while Rogers could be decisive on war powers, surveillance, speech, criminal justice and oversight.
  • The intervention lands days after Rep. Haley Stevens, who lost the Democratic primary to El-Sayed, jolted the 2026 race by endorsing Rogers, a Republican backed by President Donald Trump.
  • Amash, a former Republican who became an independent and then a Libertarian, lost the 2024 GOP Senate primary to Rogers and later voted to impeach Trump during his House tenure.
