El-Sayed, Rogers hold dueling rallies as bitter campaign comes to a close
The events come as Haley Stevens opined on why she withdrew support for the US Senate Democratic nominee.
On the eve of the consequential midterm elections in the United States, candidates in Michigan’s bitter, hard-fought US Senate race have made their final appeals to voters in a contest that could help determine control of Congress.
During duelling campaign rallies on Monday evening, Democrat Abdul El-Sayed and Republican Mike Rogers offered contrasting visions to the state’s voters. Despite dramatic, late-breaking developments, polls suggest the tenuous race has slipped further out of reach for the Republican Party.
As Tom Petty’s I Won’t Back Down played in the background, Rogers took the stage in Rochester Hills, Michigan, to talk about the race he described as a battle for the “heart and soul of the country”.
“I don’t even care if [Trump] knows what my name is,” El-Sayed said. “Because after tomorrow, we’re gonna make sure he calls me senator.”
