随着全美备受关注的参议院竞选进入最后两周，共和党人在周一晚间的福克斯新闻市政厅活动中向密歇根州选民展开游说，共和党参议院候选人迈克·罗杰斯辩称，民主党候选人阿卜杜勒·埃尔赛义德在黑人选民和犹太选民中存在弱点。
福克斯新闻主持人肖恩·汉尼蒂还采访了共和党州长候选人约翰·詹姆斯众议员以及众议院共和党会议主席、密歇根州共和党人丽莎·麦克莱恩，此前这些候选人试图将密歇根州民主党人与政府开支、社会主义和该党的进步派阵营联系起来，为11月3日的选举造势。
活动伊始，罗杰斯便指出，其对手埃尔赛义德在若干传统上支持民主党候选人的关键选民群体中可能表现不佳，这为共和党创造了政治机会。
对埃尔赛义德掌控密歇根黑人选民的能力提出质疑
迈克·罗杰斯跳过参议院辩论后，埃尔赛义德就皮克事件、以色列和社会主义纽带接受质询
汉尼蒂就埃尔赛义德此前对前总统巴拉克·奥巴马的批评向罗杰斯发难，埃尔赛义德曾称奥巴马在2012年连任后“不是推进进步议程的正确选择”。
“他在底特律不受待见。我们已经和数十名黑人牧师以及底特律市的社区领袖进行了交谈。他们寻求改变，”罗杰斯说。
值得注意的是，奥巴马定于10月24日与埃尔赛义德在底特律共同开展竞选活动，并已发布视频敦促选民支持这位民主党候选人。
犹太选民疏远之际，共和党迎来独特机遇
罗杰斯在选举前警告密歇根选民提防埃尔赛义德的“极端”议程
罗杰斯辩称，鉴于埃尔赛义德对以色列的批评，犹太社区或将为共和党带来独特机遇。
近期，埃尔赛义德拒绝回答他认为伊朗还是以色列构成更大威胁的问题。
“我认为两者都以各自的方式证明了其危险性。一个有攻击我们的风险，另一个则可能将我们卷入本不该参与的战争，”埃尔赛义德在近期的一场辩论中说道。
罗杰斯指出，如果密歇根州仅半数犹太民主党选民因埃尔赛义德的言论感到疏远，转而支持他的竞选，都将为共和党带来显著提振。
“犹太民主党人约有7万人。我们认为如果能争取到其中一半人投给我们——昨晚我们举办了一场活动，到场人数超过1000人。我们士气高涨、兴奋不已，同时也为他们的孩子感到担忧。他们为自己的孩子感到恐惧。他们站在我们这边，我们认为犹太民主党群体中的3.5万人会参与投票——这些选票原本都是民主党稳固票仓。”
“这正在改变竞选格局，”罗杰斯补充道。
州长候选人承诺打击欺诈、精简民主党主导的政府开支
众议院资深共和党议员警告：明尼苏达州欺诈丑闻将在高风险参议院竞选中困扰弗拉纳根
密歇根州共和党州长候选人约翰·詹姆斯众议员也亮相汉尼蒂的节目，向到场观众阐述如果当选他将采取的不同举措。
除了承诺重塑教育体系，詹姆斯还承诺加强对政府项目和开支的监督。
“格蕾琴·惠特默执政期间，密歇根州的开支目前比上一任共和党州长里克·斯奈德时期高出50%，每年比疫情高峰期还要多支出200亿美元。”
“密歇根州不存在税收问题。密歇根州存在开支问题，”詹姆斯补充道。
斯奈德于2019年卸任。
詹姆斯还对密歇根州可能存在的选举欺诈表示担忧，并将其与明尼苏达州大规模的纳税人资金欺诈调查进行了对比。
“如果一名名叫尼克·雪莉的19岁记者能在明尼苏达州发现90亿美元的欺诈行为——而明尼苏达州人口是我们的50%，预算规模是我们的60%——你觉得他在这里能发现什么？”詹姆斯说道，他指的是一名因调查索马里欺诈团伙而声名大噪的摄像师。
雪莉因揭露明尼苏达州疑似涉及儿童保育服务提供商的欺诈行为而受到全国关注，但他并未发现90亿美元的欺诈金额。这一数字来自前联邦检察官乔·汤普森，他去年估计，14个高风险医疗补助项目中的欺诈总额可能达到90亿美元或更多。明尼苏达州官员对这一估计提出了质疑。明尼苏达州的联邦和州调查人员已揭露涉及纳税人资助的儿童保育、食品援助和医疗保健项目的欺诈行为，包括被告 allegedly 为未提供的服务向政府报账的阴谋。
众议院资深共和党议员指责民主党隐瞒“共产主义”议程
奥巴马的明星影响力在关键参议院竞选中遭到黑人选民的现实检验：“这令人反感”
在汉尼蒂市政厅活动接近尾声时，众议院共和党会议主席、密歇根州共和党人丽莎·麦克莱恩指责民主党人隐瞒其真实面目。
“我甚至不再称他们为民主党人了；这就是共产党，”麦克莱恩说。
“他们想要扩充最高法院席位，想要废除警察制度，想要释放囚犯。”

Rogers argues El-Sayed is vulnerable with 2 traditionally Democratic blocs as Obama heads to Michigan

Rogers argued El-Sayed could underperform among key demographics, citing Black pastors and alienated Jewish Democrats

Republicans made their pitch to Michigan voters at a Fox News town hall Monday night, with GOP Senate nominee Mike Rogers arguing Democrat Abdul El-Sayed is vulnerable among Black and Jewish voters as one of the nation’s most closely watched Senate races enters its final two weeks.
Fox News host Sean Hannity also spoke with Republican gubernatorial nominee Rep. John James and House GOP Conference Chair Lisa McClain, R-Mich., as the candidates sought to tie Michigan Democrats to government spending, socialism and the party’s progressive wing ahead of Nov. 3.
Early on in the night, Rogers argued that his opponent, El-Sayed, could underperform among a handful of key demographics that traditionally support Democratic candidates, presenting political opportunities for Republicans.
Casting doubt on El-Sayed’s grip on Black voters in Michigan
EL-SAYED GRILLED ON PIKER, ISRAEL AND SOCIALIST TIES AFTER MIKE ROGERS SKIPS SENATE DEBATE
Hannity pressed Rogers about El-Sayed’s past criticism of former President Barack Obama, whom El-Sayed described as “not the right choice” to advance a progressive agenda following Obama’s 2012 re-election.
“He is dismissive in Detroit. We have just dozens of Black pastors that we have talked to, neighborhood leaders in the city of Detroit that we’ve talked to. They’re looking for a change,” Rogers said.
Notably, Obama is scheduled to campaign with El-Sayed in Detroit on Oct. 24 and has released a video urging voters to support the Democratic nominee.
Unique opportunity for Republicans amid alienated Jewish voters
ROGERS WARNS MICHIGAN VOTERS AGAINST EL-SAYED’S ‘EXTREME’ AGENDA AHEAD OF ELECTION
Rogers argued the Jewish community could present a unique opportunity for Republicans amid El-Sayed’s criticism of Israel.
Recently, El-Sayed declined to answer whether he viewed Iran or Israel as a greater threat.
“I think both of them have proven dangerous in their own way. One, at risk of attacking us. One, getting us into wars we have no business fighting,” El-Sayed said in a recent debate.
Rogers noted that if only half of Jewish Democratic voters in Michigan felt alienated by El-Sayed’s remarks enough to support his campaign, it would provide a significant boost.
“There are about 70,000 Jewish Democrats. If we get half of them to vote for us, which we think — we had an event last night. Had over 1,000 people at it. We’re fired up and excited and scared for their children, by the way. They’re afraid for their children. They’re with us, and they’re going to vote, we think, 35,000 votes out of the Jewish Democrat — these are normally solid Democratic votes.”
“That’s changing the dynamic,” Rogers added.

MINNESOTA FRAUD SCANDAL WILL HAUNT FLANAGAN IN HIGH-STAKES SENATE RACE, TOP HOUSE REPUBLICAN WARNS
Rep. John James, R-Mich., the state’s Republican candidate for governor, also appeared with Hannity, presenting his pitch to attendees on what he would do differently if elected.
Alongside promises to reshape education, James promised to create more scrutiny around government programs and expenses.
“Michigan is spending 50% more right now under Gretchen Whitmer than we spent under Rick Snyder’s administration, the last Republican, and $20 billion more per year than at the height of the pandemic.”
“Michigan does not have a taxation problem. Michigan has a spending problem,” James added.
Snyder left office in 2019.
James also raised concerns about potential fraud in Michigan, drawing comparisons to Minnesota’s sprawling taxpayer-funded fraud investigations.
“If a 19-year-old journalist named Nick Shirley can find $9 billion of fraud in Minnesota, a state with 50% of our population and 60% of our budget, what do you think he can find here?” James said, referring to a videographer who had become famous for investigating Somali fraud rings.
Shirley drew national attention to suspected fraud involving Minnesota childcare providers, although he did not uncover $9 billion in fraud. That figure came from former federal prosecutor Joe Thompson, who estimated last year that fraud across 14 high-risk Medicaid programs could total $9 billion or more. Minnesota officials have disputed the estimate. Federal and state investigators in Minnesota have uncovered fraud involving taxpayer-funded childcare, food assistance and healthcare programs, including schemes in which defendants allegedly billed the government for services they never provided.
Top House Republican accuses Democrats of concealing ‘Communist’ agenda
OBAMA’S STAR POWER GETS A REALITY CHECK FROM BLACK VOTERS IN CRUCIAL SENATE RACE: ‘IT’S A TURNOFF’
At the close of Hannity’s town hall, Rep. Lisa McClain, R-Mich., the House GOP conference chair, accused Democrats of hiding their true character.
“I don’t even call them Democrats anymore; it’s the Communist Party,” McClain said.
“They want to pack the Supreme Court, they want to abolish the police, they want to let people out of prisons.”
