As Michigan Democrats debate who is their best candidate for Senate, the presumptive Republican nominee, Mike Rogers, has a frank private assessment of the field.
During a call with supporters last month, Rogers said his campaign was in “pretty good shape” overall – and feeling good if former public health official Abdul El-Sayed captures the Democratic nomination in the August 4 primary.
“If he wins, I think we’re in good shape,” Rogers said while responding to a question about his campaign’s strategy for El-Sayed. “I mean, I think he’s so radical. I think he’s going to lose big parts of the west part of the state. We think we can do well in part of the southeast part of the state. I think we’ll do well if he in fact is the nominee.”
