Michigan Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers calls for end to US-Canada tariff war in campaign ad
Michigan Republican Senate nominee Mike Rogers released a campaign ad on October 7, 2026, calling for an immediate end to the US-Canada tariff dispute and stating that Canada is not America's enemy. Rogers, who previously supported Trump's tariffs, is running in a competitive race against Democrat Abdul El-Sayed rated as a toss-up by the Cook Political Report. The ad is part of a seven-figure coordinated buy between Rogers' campaign and the NRSC, and marks Rogers' second recent break with Trump after he called for an end to the Iran war two weeks earlier.
