Speaking of that open Senate seat of Senator Gary Peters (D-Bloomfield Township), former Congressman and 2024 Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers (R-White Lake) announced he will be going for the brass ring a second time after losing to Democrat and now Senator Elissa Slotkin in 2024 by about 19,000 votes. He was immediately endorsed by Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) and Republican Senatorial Committee Chairperson Tim Scott of South Carolina. “I don’t know if Trump will endorse him (he did in 2024) but he will likely have the field to himself,” said a Republican insider, who added that Republicans who are mulling the seat will likely stay on the sidelines.
