In a highly anticipated debate, Democratic U.S. Rep.
Elissa Slotkin and Republican former U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers clashed over key issues in Michigan's closely contested U.S. Senate race. Both candidates accused each other of misleading voters, with Slotkin criticizing Rogers for being willing to say anything to win, while Rogers labeled Slotkin as deceptive. The debate, held in Grand Rapids, is part of a race to fill the seat of retiring Sen. Debbie Stabenow, and is one of the most closely watched Senate races in the country.
The outcome could have significant implications for the balance of power in the U.S. Senate.

Slotkin is exactly right to call out Rogers for his flip-flopping and pandering. He’s just another Republican willing to say whatever it takes to win while pushing policies that hurt working families. Slotkin, on the other hand, has a track record of standing up for healthcare and protecting democracy. We can't afford to let someone like Rogers get a Senate seat when so much is on the line.
