Story summary

This Tuesday, control of the U.S. Senate may be decided in Michigan's tight race between Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed and Republican candidate Mike Rogers. Abdul El-Sayed, the son of Egyptian immigrants, could become the nation's first Muslim senator if he wins. El-Sayed campaigns on ambitious policies like "Medicare For All" and busting monopolies, while Rogers focuses on Michigan-specific issues such as jobs and education. In their 60 Minutes interviews, both candidates were critical of each other; Rogers accused El-Sayed of having links to the Muslim Brotherhood based on a 2012 letter supporting Egypt's democratically elected government, which was backed by the Brotherhood. The race remains close and contentious as voters decide whether they prefer progressive ideas or more centrist policies in the shadow of inflation, war, and President Trump’s influence.

Why this leaning score

This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
