The contest pits El-Sayed, a physician and former Detroit health director, against Rogers, a former FBI agent and ex-congressman, in a state seen as a key battleground. Polls suggest a tight race, with both candidates focusing on economic issues and abortion rights. Michigan's Senate seat became open after the retirement of incumbent Democrat Debbie Stabenow.
