Michigan U.S. Senate Candidates Campaign Ahead of Election Day

Michigan's U.S. Senate candidates returned to the campaign trail Monday with Election Day one week away.

Democrat Abdul El-Sayed spoke in Detroit, emphasizing education funding, public safety and efforts to address gun violence. He said children deserve access to quality schools, clean air and clean water, and should not have their futures threatened by gun violence.

Republican Mike Rogers spoke to reporters following a rally in Portland, criticizing the state's major clean energy mandates. Rogers said his priorities include lowering gasoline prices and utility rates, arguing that Democrats' policies would increase costs.

A poll from Michigan State University's Institute for Public Policy and Social Research showed El-Sayed leading Rogers by 2.5 percentage points. The survey's margin of error was greater than four percentage points, meaning the reported difference was within the poll's margin of error.

The same poll showed a wider gap in the governor's race, with Democrat Jocelyn Benson leading Republican John James by approximately 12.5 percentage points.
