Summary
Mike Rogers said Michigan voters are "waking up" to what he called the Democratic Party's sharp move left, arguing the shift is helping his Senate campaign ahead of the Aug. 4 primary.
Three New York Democratic primary wins by socialist and progressive candidates after Zohran Mamdani's mayoral primary victory gave Rogers fresh evidence for that argument, he said, pointing to platforms including abolishing ICE and universal healthcare.
Michigan's Democratic contest features three candidates Rogers cast as out of step, including Abdul El-Sayed, who is backed by Bernie Sanders and has drawn criticism over his Israel stance and campaign appearances.
Rogers tied the ideological fight to Michigan's economy, blaming years of Democratic control for weak wage growth, manufacturing losses, higher utility bills and poorer schools while saying his affordability-focused message has led in six recent polls.
