El-Sayed Courts GOP Voters in Michigan Senate Ad on Fox News

Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed is airing a new ad on conservative networks Fox News and Newsmax, directly courting Republican voters less than two weeks before Election Day. The spot, titled "Red Hat," features right-wing pundits praising him and criticizing his Republican opponent Mike Rogers. El-Sayed argues he shares common ground with Republicans on issues like campaign finance reform, lowering costs, free speech, and releasing Jeffrey Epstein files, while also endorsing the "Make America Healthy Again" movement. The ad includes clips from figures like Jesse Watters, Lara Trump, and Tucker Carlson, who is shown saying he wouldn't vote for Rogers "at gunpoint." The Michigan Senate race is among the most expensive in state history, with ad spending surpassing $180 million, as El-Sayed holds a slight polling lead. Republicans have sought to tie him to radical figures, while El-Sayed focuses his campaign on healthcare access and the cost of living.
