Democratic Rep. Elissa Slotkin will face off against former Republican Rep. Mike Rogers for a Michigan Senate seat in the November election.
Slotkin, a Jewish former CIA intelligence officer, defeats actor Hill Harper in the Democratic primary, while Republicans choose Rogers over Justin Amash, a former congressman of Palestinian heritage, and physician Sherry O’Donnell.
Both candidates will now compete for a seat left open by longtime Democratic Sen. Debbie Stabenow’s retirement.
Slotkin enters the race 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.
