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.
