Michigan Senate Debate Highlights Clash Over EV Policies, Abortion, and Inflation

Candidates Elissa Slotkin and Mike Rogers spar over electric vehicle mandates, reproductive rights, and economic issues in a closely watched race.

Mike Rogers criticizes Biden's EV emissions standards, claiming they harm Michigan's car industry, while Elissa Slotkin defends them as essential for future competitiveness.
Slotkin accuses Rogers of having a history of supporting restrictive abortion legislation, despite his current stance to uphold Michigan's voter-approved protections.
Inflation remains a central issue, with Rogers blaming Democratic policies for high prices, while Slotkin emphasizes reshoring supply chains to reduce costs.
The candidates also debate border security, with Slotkin blaming Republicans for blocking reforms and Rogers criticizing Democratic policies.
Despite the tense exchanges, both candidates maintain a civil tone as they vie for the seat vacated by retiring Senator Debbie Stabenow.
