MI-SEN: Mike Rogers, Elissa Slotkin debate EVs, guns, immigration. Here are the facts

SOUTHFIELD — In their second and final scheduled debate before the Nov. 5 election, U.S. Senate candidates Elissa Slotkin and Mike Rogers made their case to Michigan voters and sought to undermine each other’s past.

Slotkin and Rogers sparred on issues like gun reform, abortion, immigration and the economy, as well as the role electric vehicles should play in the automotive industry in the hour-long debate hosted by WXYZ-TV in metro Detroit.

“We have a lot of differences,” said Slotkin, a Holly Democrat who has served in the U.S. House since 2019. “But the good news is we both have records.”

Rogers, a Republican who served in the House from 2001 through 2014, positioned himself as the candidate of “change” as he seeks to flip a seat long held by Democrat Debbie Stabenow, whose pending retirement has made the race a "toss-up,” according to national experts.
