Former GOP Rep. Mike Rogers Enters Michigan Senate Race

Former GOP Rep. Mike Rogers, who served in Congress for 14 years and chaired the House Intelligence Committee, has entered the race for Michigan's open Senate seat. Rogers' candidacy gives Republicans a credible candidate in a state where they have struggled to secure a strong recruit. The Senate race in Michigan is crucial for determining control of the narrowly divided chamber in 2025. Incumbent Democratic Sen. Debbie Stabenow announced her retirement earlier this year, and Rogers' entry into the race adds to the competition, which includes Democratic Rep. Elissa Slotkin and actor Hill Harper. Rogers took aim at President Joe Biden in his announcement, criticizing his policies and accusing politicians of focusing on trivial issues while China poses a threat. The GOP faces the possibility of a messy primary, with other potential candidates considering runs.
