Slotkin and Rogers Clash in Pivotal Michigan Senate Debate

The candidates sparred over key issues like abortion, foreign policy, and China in a race that could determine Senate control.

Elissa Slotkin and Mike Rogers debated fiercely on abortion, with Slotkin challenging Rogers' past anti-abortion stance despite his claims to respect Michigan's new constitutional protections.
Foreign policy was a major focus, with both candidates supporting Israel's right to self-defense amid Middle East tensions and discussing the implications for Michigan's large Arab American community.
China's influence in Michigan, particularly in the electric vehicle industry, was a contentious topic, with Rogers accusing Slotkin of ties to Chinese investments, which she denied.
Immigration policies were criticized by both, as Slotkin called the system 'broken' and Rogers argued Democrats' policies have exacerbated border issues.
Personal attacks were exchanged, with Slotkin questioning Rogers' residency and commitment to Michigan, while Rogers accused Slotkin of being deceptive about her record and connections.
