Michigan voters closely divided between Rogers and El-Sayed
Less than two weeks before the November 3 midterms, Michigan voters are split between Republican Mike Rogers and Democrat Abdul El-Sayed in the race for a US Senate seat — and some in Detroit are still undecided.
With less than two weeks to go before the November 3 US midterm elections, Michigan voters remain closely divided between Republican Mike Rogers and Democrat Abdul El-Sayed in the state's race for a US Senate seat.
At an event in Detroit this week, Al Jazeera spoke to voters on both sides. In the video report, some said they were still making up their minds, while others had already chosen a side and praised their preferred candidate's campaign.
One voter questioned why El-Sayed would not use what she described as his 'real name'. Others weighed the candidates' honesty: one supporter said Rogers had 'a way better campaign' and was 'fully telling the truth', while another said she was 'totally not biased between them' and had yet to decide who would get her vote.
The Senate contest is one of the races that will help determine control of the chamber in the midterms. Rogers and El-Sayed recently faced off in a televised debate in which they clashed over Donald Trump, the Iran war and immigration.
The split response in Detroit shows how tight the race has become in the final stretch of the campaign, with neither candidate commanding a clear lead among the voters Al Jazeera spoke to.
