(FOX 2) - Republican Mike Rogers is campaigning in Southeast Michigan as the 2026 midterm election enters its final stretch.
The U.S. Senate candidate will hold a press conference titled ‘Restoring the American Dream.’ He's expected to speak after 3 p.m.
2026 Midterm Election
The backstory:
Rogers and his opponent Democrat Abdul El-Sayed are vying for one of the most competitive seats in this election cycle.
The balance of power in Congress could be determined by its outcome. Michigan's purple status again places its electorate in the spotlight as uncertainty over who will have majorities in the U.S. Senate as well as what issues are motivating voters in 2026 remains some of the biggest questions that will be answered in November.
While recent election polling gives El-Sayed a better chance of winning, the possibility of an error like what was revealed in the Democratic primary underscores the lack of certainty in who has the edge.
