Mike Rogers Says He Would Accept AIPAC Support

Mike Rogers and Abdul El-Sayed debated in Michigan’s Senate race; Donald Trump later praised Rogers and attacked El-Sayed. Left-leaning outlets center Trump’s attacks and Rogers’s remarks about El-Sayed’s family. Center outlets split among Rogers’s AIPAC stance, competing assessments of who won, and strategists’ view that the debate may not shift the race. Right-leaning outlets emphasize Rogers’s accusations against El-Sayed and Trump’s praise, while also reporting Rogers’s welcome for AIPAC support.
