Former Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich., is gaining momentum in the race for Michigan’s open Senate seat. Recent polls show that the race is tightening as Election Day approaches. Chris Gustafson, communications director for the Rogers campaign, expressed confidence in their field operation, which has been reaching out to millions of voters. Rogers has been actively engaging with families and small business owners across the state, which seems to be paying off.
The race is against Democratic opponent, Rep. Elissa Slotkin, and Rogers has been able to narrow the gap in recent weeks. Initially trailing by over five points, Rogers is now just 2.7 points behind Slotkin, according to the Real Clear Politics polling average. The Senate seat in Michigan, currently held by retiring Democrat Sen. Debbie Stabenow, is crucial in determining control of the Senate in the upcoming election.
Michigan has historically been a Democratic stronghold, but Rogers’ campaign is hopeful that they can capitalize on the momentum. Despite Republican candidates not faring well in recent Senate elections in the state, there is optimism that Rogers can turn the tide. With support from GOP operatives and a focus on key issues such as inflation and opposition to electric vehicle subsidies, Rogers is making a strong case to Michigan voters.
The integration between the Trump and Rogers campaigns has been beneficial, with both sides working together to knock on thousands of doors and engage with voters. The emphasis on issues that resonate with Michigan residents, such as border security, rising gas prices, and job-related concerns, has helped Rogers connect with voters on a personal level.
As the election approaches, the Rogers campaign remains optimistic about their chances. They believe that Rogers’ track record of fighting for Michigan values will resonate with voters and help secure a victory. With just a few weeks left until Election Day, the race is heating up, and both campaigns are making their final push to sway undecided voters.
While the Slotkin campaign did not respond to requests for comment, the competition between Rogers and Slotkin is expected to intensify in the coming days. Michigan voters will play a crucial role in deciding the outcome of this Senate race, and both candidates are vying for their support.
