Michigan Rabbi Backs Mike Rogers in U.S. Senate Race

In a Michigan Senate race interview, Tucker Carlson questioned Abdul El-Sayed's progressive ties and Mike Rogers' viability, as a poll shows El-Sayed leading 46% to 39% among likely voters.

  • Conservative commentator Tucker Carlson criticized Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers while praising Democratic opponent Abdul El-Sayed during a Wednesday interview on The Tucker Carlson Show.
  • Rogers and El-Sayed are competing for the U.S. Senate seat vacated by Sen. Gary Peters, with the Republican nominee seeking to flip the state for the GOP.
  • A Susquehanna Polling and Research survey of 800 likely voters taken Aug. 11-17 shows El-Sayed leading Rogers 46% to 39%, despite the American Israel Public Affairs Committee spending more than $30 million to defeat him.
  • Carlson dismissed Rogers as "basically a tool of Israel and the intel agencies," stating he would not vote for the Republican "at gunpoint," while calling El-Sayed's platform "literally Trumpian."
  • The remarks sparked criticism from Republicans, with conservative commentator Mark Levin calling the former Fox News host an "obtuse and wicked Neanderthal," while Vice President JD Vance addressed the rift during a briefing.
