Story summary

Mike Rogers, the Republican Senate nominee in Michigan, has released a campaign ad calling for an end to the war with Iran. Endorsed by former President Donald Trump, Rogers faces a tight race against left-wing Democrat Abdul El-Sayed, who currently leads by 2.1 points in polls. In recent surveys, nearly half of US voters (49%) believe that Trump was wrong to launch military action in Iran earlier this year, and 46% said they would rather pay $5 per gallon for gas than send more troops to Iran. Rogers argues that ending the conflict will help bring down prices, particularly on groceries and energy costs, addressing issues faced by Michigan families struggling with daily expenses.
