Elissa Slotkin vs Mike Rogers

Former U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers has won the Republican primary for Michigan's open Senate seat, defeating a field that included former Rep. Justin Amash and securing the endorsement of former President Donald Trump. He will face Democratic Rep. Elissa Slotkin, who easily defeated actor Hill Harper in her primary. This race is particularly competitive as it follows the retirement of long-time Democratic Sen. Debbie Stabenow, with analysts now categorizing it as a toss-up. Slotkin has a significant fundraising advantage, with $8.7 million on hand compared to Rogers' $2.5 million. Both candidates have been consolidating support from their respective parties, with Slotkin focusing on economic security while Rogers emphasizes border security and crime reduction. With the stakes high for both parties, the outcome will be crucial for control of the Senate in the upcoming election.
