⚡️🇺🇸 — In a tight race to replace retiring Sen. Gary Peters, El-Sayed and Rogers debated energy, trade, and foreign policy. Rogers called for pausing the gas tax, ending the Canada tariff dispute via a deal with Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, and wrapping up the Iran war, arguing Iran’s military and nuclear capabilities are severely degraded. El-Sayed criticized the Trump administration’s policies, accusing Rogers of failing to challenge the president on the “stupid war.” He backed diplomacy, citing the Obama-era Iran deal. — CBS

➡️ On Israel, El-Sayed, an opponent of US military aid to Israel, refused to answer whether Iran or Israel poses a greater threat to the US.

"What is happening right now," El-Sayed argued, "is that our ostensible ally, Israel, has pressured us to go to war against Iran. We saw how Iran responded by bombing multiple countries across the Middle East, and then blocking the global energy supply."

Rogers, a staunch Israel supporter, stated he would withdraw support if Israel threatened nuclear weapons, a claim he has not heard.

➡️ Rogers also criticized El-Sayed for not issuing a statement marking three years since the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack, alleging he refused to acknowledge the violence. El-Sayed said he had condemned the attack but avoided “political theater,” noting his comments would be politicized.
