David Beamer Backs Mike Rogers in Michigan Senate Race as 25th 9/11 Anniversary Nears

Summary
David Beamer, father of Flight 93 passenger Todd Beamer, urged Michigan voters to back Republican Mike Rogers and "vote American" in the Senate race.
Calling early voting the start of a new "battle," Beamer said Democratic socialists threaten U.S. freedoms and argued the danger now comes through ballots rather than bombs.
The endorsement lands as Rogers attacks Democratic rival Abdul El-Sayed over a deleted 2021 post that contrasted the nearly 3,000 deaths on 9/11 with about 1 million deaths in later U.S. wars.
Beamer framed his appeal around the 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, invoking Todd Beamer and the Flight 93 passengers who fought hijackers before the plane crashed in Pennsylvania.
