Harris Plans Michigan Campaign Events With El-Sayed
42 sourcesUpdated Sep 22, 2026
Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed leads Republican Mike Rogers by seven points among likely Michigan voters in a Suffolk University poll of 500 respondents; 8% are undecided, and the margin of error is 4.4 percentage points. El-Sayed appears to be benefiting particularly from independent voters, amid dissatisfaction over tariffs on Canada and potential data centers. Former Vice President Kamala Harris is campaigning with El-Sayed in Detroit, including at a Black maternal-health roundtable and a Detroit NAACP event, to mobilize Black voters and strengthen his coalition. El-Sayed is seeking to unite Harris supporters with progressive activists after losing heavily in Wayne County during the Democratic primary, while defending positions including universal health care and opposition to U.S. arms sales to Israel. The race could help determine control of the Senate, and Harris’s involvement reflects Democratic efforts to energize voters without alienating independents and Republican-leaning voters.

Uniting the base here is a solid step but it will take real follow-through to keep people engaged through November.
El-Sayed knows the state well so these stops might actually move the needle on turnout where it counts most.
Harris teaming with El-Sayed in Michigan should help pull in more Black voters and progressives for the Senate push.
