Mike Rogers gains support from former Biden aide and college-educated women in Michigan

Michael LaRosa, a former press secretary for Jill Biden, publicly endorsed Republican nominee Mike Rogers over Democrat Abdul El-Sayed. LaRosa cited specific policy concerns as the reason for his shift in the Michigan U.S. Senate race. Recent polling also indicates a shift in voter preference among college-educated white women who are moving away from the Democratic candidate. Rogers is launching a campaign outreach effort specifically designed to attract moderate voters who may find El-Sayed too far left. This strategy follows the primary victory of El-Sayed over Representative Haley Stevens, which prompted Rogers to target Democratic voters looking for a more centrist option. The Republican candidate continues to court moderate Democrats by positioning himself as a stable alternative in the general election.
