Abdul El-Sayed

President Donald Trump has made a political living for years saying and doing whatever the hell he wants. Somehow this is accepted as his style. But the horrible things he says and terrible decisions he makes aren't working well for his Republican underlings.

The debate between Mike Rogers and Abdul El-Sayed got so off-track that moderator Rick Albin of WOOD-TV felt compelled to chime in: "I’d like to be a part of the debate, too!"

Trade policy and the war with Iran are issues where the two candidates have been in conflict in recent days.

As of Monday, October 5, more than 120,000 Michiganders have already voted. That's roughly 1.7% of active registered voters in Michigan.

According to the Secretary of State website, 1.3% of eligible Michiganders have voted (93,154 people) as of October 2. Michigan has just under 2 million vote-by-mail voters.

While not all "attack" ads are necessarily bad, recently, both political parties seemed to have found John Auchter's phone number, and the texts are just pouring in.

A Pew Research Center poll found 43% of Americans surveyed give Republicans the edge on crime policy. Of those polled, 29% favored Democrats. Twenty-five percent favored neither party on crime policy.

Abdul El-Sayed, the Democrat running for Michigan's open U.S. Senate seat, and Mike Rogers, the Republican nominee, have staked out sharply different views on what will resonate with voters.

Candidate Abdul El-Sayed has criticized the Israeli government’s actions in Gaza and U.S. weapons sales to Israel.

Republicans are trying to win an open Senate seat race in Michigan, and nominee Mike Rogers is stepping up his appeals to some Democrats. The strategy is key to what the former congressman sees as a way to defeat progressive Democrat Abdul El-Sayed.
