Mike Rogers Relaunches Senate Campaign for Michigan's Open Seat

After a narrow 2024 loss, Rogers aligns with Trump and secures key GOP endorsements for a competitive 2026 race.

Former Republican Congressman Mike Rogers announced his second Senate bid for Michigan, aiming to replace retiring Democratic Senator Gary Peters in 2026.
Rogers is emphasizing his alignment with Donald Trump's America First agenda, pledging to bring manufacturing jobs back to Michigan and protect Social Security.
He has received early endorsements from Senate Majority Leader John Thune and NRSC Chair Tim Scott, signaling strong GOP support for his campaign.
The Michigan Senate race is expected to be one of the most competitive in 2026, with Democrats also mobilizing candidates like State Senator Mallory McMorrow.
Rogers narrowly lost his 2024 Senate race to Democrat Elissa Slotkin by less than 20,000 votes despite Trump carrying Michigan in the presidential election.
