Story summary

On October 8, Abdul El-Sayed and Mike Rogers faced off in a heated Senate debate in Grand Rapids, Michigan, for the state's open seat. The Democrat, El-Sayed, dodged questions about whether Iran or Israel poses a greater threat to the US by focusing on domestic issues like education and healthcare. Republican Rogers accused El-Sayed of being a "con man" without a medical license and called him a "sock puppet" for President Trump. The debate also touched on Iran, tariffs, and immigration, with both candidates engaging in personal attacks rather than substantive policy discussions. This race is crucial as Michigan's Senate seat could influence the balance of power in the chamber.
