The Detroit Free Press, the largest newspaper in Michigan, has announced its endorsement of Democratic candidate Abdul El-Sayed for Michigan’s Senate race. This endorsement places El-Sayed against his Republican opponent, Mike Rogers.
The endorsement was released through an editorial published online Sunday, urging Michiganders to elect El-Sayed to the U.S. Senate on November 3. Newsweek has attempted to contact both El-Sayed and Rogers’ campaign teams for comments. This outreach occurred outside business hours on Monday through email and online forms.
Michigan’s Senate race is a crucial component of the midterm elections, with the Democratic party aiming to gain control of the Senate. Securing the seat, which Democratic Senator Gary Peters is vacating, is vital for their strategy. Notably, the Detroit Free Press has consistently supported Democratic candidates in the last two Senate elections in Michigan.
“Everything you’ve heard about Michigan’s U.S. Senate race is true: An extremist is asking voters to send him to Washington, masking an agenda far out of step with Michigan’s mainstream under the pretense of normalcy. If elected, this man would urge America down a dark path, changing the shape of our nation, perhaps irrevocably,” the editorial stated. “But that man is not Abdul El-Sayed.”
