El-Sayed and Rogers trade accusations in final Michigan Senate debate

Republican Mike Rogers and Democrat Abdul El-Sayed clashed Wednesday in their final Michigan Senate debate, trading accusations of extremism and dishonesty in a neck-and-neck race that could decide Senate control. El-Sayed repeatedly called Rogers a "sock puppet" for President Trump, citing his support for policies raising prices, while Rogers accused El-Sayed of deception and linking him to the Muslim Brotherhood and terror groups. The debate also covered Iran, Medicare for All, and tariffs. The contest is among the nation's most watched midterm races, with Democrats leveraging Trump's unpopularity and inflation frustrations, while Republicans target divisions among progressives and moderates on Middle East policy. Rogers plans to attend Trump's Michigan rally Sunday.
