Former Republican Michigan Rep. Mike Rogers’ Senate campaign rolled out its first digital campaign ad Friday hammering his Democratic opponents for opposing tax breaks.
The 60-second ad, first shared with the Daily Caller News Foundation, attacks the three Democratic Senate candidates for their opposition to dozens of tax benefits enacted in Republicans’ One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Rogers is expected to breeze through the primary due to President Donald Trump’s endorsement, allowing the Michigan Republican to go on offense against his opponents in the critical swing state while they are stuck in a messy primary fight.
“If the three Democratic Senate candidates have it their way, Congress would have voted for the largest tax increase in American history,” the ad’s narrator says.
The three Democratic candidates running to succeed retiring Democratic Michigan Sen. Gary Peters include: Rep. Haley Stevens, state Sen. Mallory McMorrow and former public health official Abdul El-Sayed, who is endorsed by Sen. Bernie Sanders.
The three-way Democratic primary slated for August 2026 has no clear frontrunner. The candidates appear to be running to the left in an effort to win over the party’s base voters.
