Summary
Abdul El-Sayed used JD Vance’s Monday visit to Sterling Heights to sharpen his attack on Republican Senate rival Mike Rogers, saying Rogers would simply carry out Donald Trump’s agenda.
Rogers appeared with Vance at a MAGA Inc. campaign event, giving El-Sayed an opening to argue his opponent is too closely aligned with Trump and corporate donors.
El-Sayed paired that criticism with his own pitch on affordability, Medicare for All and removing money from politics, joined by state Rep. Mallory McMorrow.
9/11-era social media posts have also put El-Sayed on defense; he said the attacks were a national tragedy while arguing the U.S. should avoid wars that do more harm.
