Elissa Slotkin Leads Mike Rogers in Michigan Senate Race

As the Michigan Senate race heats up, Democratic Rep. Elissa Slotkin is leading Republican Mike Rogers by an average of 4 points in recent polls, with Slotkin raising significantly more funds than Rogers—$40.1 million compared to Rogers' $9.6 million. Both candidates are actively campaigning across the state, focusing on key voter concerns; Slotkin highlights her CIA background to address immigration issues, while Rogers criticizes the current administration's economic policies. National Republican organizations, recognizing Rogers' fundraising struggles, have committed over $40 million in advertising to bolster his campaign. An internal Republican memo indicates Slotkin's lead has expanded to 8 percentage points, reflecting the impact of Rogers' limited campaign presence. The race is vital for both parties, with control of the Senate hanging in the balance as voters prepare for the election on November 5.
