Vance campaigns for Rogers in Michigan Senate race ahead of midterms
19 sourcesUpdated Oct 27, 20261 min read
Vice President JD Vance rallied Republicans in Howell, Michigan, one week before the Nov. 3 midterms, urging support for Senate candidate Mike Rogers and gubernatorial candidate John James as Michigan’s races drew national attention. Vance portrayed the contests as crucial to control of Congress and the state government, criticized Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed over his politics and immigration enforcement, and blamed Democrats’ energy policies for high gasoline prices and affordability concerns. Rogers said he would focus on education, jobs and homeownership, while Vance said Rogers had sometimes differed from President Donald Trump’s administration. James framed his race against Democrat Jocelyn Benson as a choice about costs and governance, while Michigan Democrats criticized the Trump-Vance administration’s economic record and said Republican policies would raise costs for families.

El-Sayed needs a strong response on costs if he wants to close the gap in this race.
Rogers should put state issues like affordability first instead of just following the national agenda.
Vance makes a fair point that energy policies have kept gas prices high for Michigan drivers.
