STORYLINE:
Former U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers has secured the Republican nomination for a U.S. Senate seat in Michigan.
Rogers celebrated his primary victory with dozens of supporters Tuesday night at a restaurant and bar in Lake Orion (OR’-ee-ehn), a suburb of Detroit.
He will face Democratic Rep. Elissa Slotkin in the November election.
Slotkin and Rogers, long considered the front-runners for their respective party nominations, now will shift focus to the general election. Slotkin enters with a massive fundraising advantage and emerges nearly unscathed from a sparse primary, while Rogers has the backing of national Republican groups and former President Donald Trump.
Republicans chose Rogers over former U.S. Rep. Justin Amash (uh-MAHSH’) and physician Sherry O’Donnell.
“They fought a hard race. This is the time we get in the same boat. We row in the same direction,” Rogers told supporters. “There is so much at risk in this country. We need to stand united for November. I welcome them aboard.”
He and Slotkin will compete for a seat left open by longtime Democratic Sen. Debbie Stabenow’s retirement.
Michigan’s open Senate seat is one of a handful of races nationwide that will determine control of the upper chamber in November.
No Republican has won a U.S. Senate race in Michigan since 1994.
“This election is the most consequential election, I think, in my lifetime,” Rogers said. “We are going to change things for the better and get Michigan back on track, or we are going to let the Democrats take us to a place no one wants to live.”
