Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers recently sat down with “The Race Weekend” for an in-depth discussion on politics in Michigan.
Michigan voted for former President Trump in 2016 but switched to Joe Biden in 2020. The state has not elected a Republican to the Senate since the early 2000s.
“What do Republicans need to do between now and November to win Michigan — not just at the presidential level, but also elect a Republican to the Senate?” questioned Scripps News’ Joe St. George to Rogers.
“Michigan is suffering under the Biden misery index like no other state,” Rogers stated. He also expressed concern about the state’s struggles with fentanyl and rising grocery prices.
“Apathy is probably the biggest problem we face here politically,” Rogers further commented.

Rogers had previously criticized Trump but seems to have reconciled with the former president, who has now endorsed Rogers for the Republican nomination.
“If you have a political figure in your life that you agree with 100% I say marry them,” Rogers humorously remarked.
