Live: Dr. Abdul El-Sayed rallies in Michigan days before midterm elections
Democratic Senate candidate in Michigan, Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, speaks to supporters at a rally in Detroit’s East Side days before critical mid-term elections.
Michigan Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers is trying to lean on usually reliable left-leaning constituents in his fight to defeat his Democratic opponent Abdul El-Sayed, who has faced questions about his ability to solidify his own party’s support.
During the final debate against El-Sayed, the Democratic Senate nominee, Rogers said his campaign is making inroads with Black and Jewish voters in key areas of the state, despite trailing in several polls as Election Day nears.
“We’re doing well with African Americans in the city of Detroit, in Pontiac, in Flint. We’re doing exceptionally well with Jewish Democrats who are literally afraid,” Rogers said. “I’ve talked to ones with tears in their eyes about the future of their kids and grandkids because of the anger and division that (El-Sayed) is laying out on the street. This is really, really important that you listen to the people who are not going to support (him).”
