Michigan Republican Senate nominee Mike Rogers has stated that he is gaining support from traditionally Democratic-leaning coalitions due to concerns about his opponent, Democrat Abdul El-Sayed, and alleged ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, according to 570wkbn.iheart.com and 1150wima.iheart.com.

On CNN's "State of the Union," Rogers accused El-Sayed of not disavowing the extremist group and claimed his campaign receives funding from groups sympathetic to the Muslim Brotherhood, as reported by foxnews.com and 570wkbn.iheart.com.

El-Sayed has denied these allegations, emphasizing his commitment to the U.S. Constitution and disavowing the Muslim Brotherhood during a recent town hall in Caro, Michigan, according to 570wkbn.iheart.com and 1150wima.iheart.com.

The race between Rogers and El-Sayed remains close, with polls showing El-Sayed holding a narrow lead. El-Sayed's campaign is focusing on maintaining support from key voter groups, including the Black community, as Election Day nears, according to 570wkbn.iheart.com.

Rogers also highlighted affordability as a key voter concern, criticizing Democrats for opposing a gas tax holiday in Lansing, as noted by 570wkbn.iheart.com and 1150wima.iheart.com.
