El-Sayed, Rogers campaign in closing stretch to Election Day

Just six days until the midterm elections and both candidates for Michigan's U.S. Senate seat with a big final push. Fox 2's Scott Wolchek joins us live now from Wyandotte where Abdul El-Sayed wrapping up a campaign stop. Scott. Hey Charlie, yeah you know what he is wrapping up this right here but he's actually doing this press conference right now so that we're bringing this to you live right now. I'm gonna pop in here just to take a listen to him so if you got any questions Charlie let me know but take a listen here. $80. That's crazy. It's nuts that people have to pay this much for gas. It's nuts that when you go to the grocery store, you're trying to figure out, can you even afford a pound of ground chuck? That is Donald Trump's economy. That is because of his tariffs, because of his war. He does not want to talk about those things. You notice, I mean, how much collective time has he spent speaking from a rostrum over the last week? And how often has he actually talked about those issues that are affecting people's lives? So he wants to point to my name and my faith, and he wants to distract people from paying attention to the issues. Michiganders and Americans are a lot bigger than he is right he wants us to be small like him we're a lot bigger than he is okay uh dr al-sayed you've responded to the weaponization of your religion with humor with courage and i think with a way that keeps you on message talking about affordability but at what point do you think that you're defending your right to exist and belong in this country i'm trying to defend everybody else i'm not here to defend myself right i've been in my whole life people want to say whatever they want to say. That doesn't bother me. I just, it bothers me that people can't afford their gas. And so that is Abdul talking right now. And we do know that Mike Rogers has been out campaigning throughout the state as well. And so we followed him around for quite a bit as well. He was over in Bad Axe. Take a listen to what Mike Rogers had to say a little earlier? You want to send somebody back that can work with the president. He's going to be there two years. We have a lot to do here in Michigan to get us back up on our feet. Having a relationship is going to be very important to that end. If it's good for Michigan, I'm for it. If it's going to be bad for Michigan, I'll be against it. And I'm not obviously afraid to push on the president. And yeah, we're going to hop back into this press conference. So I'll send it back to you over there, Charlie. That is Scott Wolchek. He's live in Wyandotte. I don't know if you can get in there Scott, if you could ask him maybe, how would Abdul El-Sayed work with President Trump if he's elected? And Mike Rogers makes the point, he's gonna be there for two years, could he work with President Trump? Is your message to Ben in these final days between now and the election? That's a great question, Charlie, I'll try to ask it, but kinda in the middle of a press conference here. talking about right now and uh you know it's frustrating um that folks are using this campaign we'll take this a little bit here let's uh obviously that obviously six days before the election they are out and about both candidates and not only for the u.s senate but for michigan's governor and we will follow those all right scott walczak thanks for that report in wyandotte all right in detroit now it is a rally just getting underway to help boost turnout for election day the Hold the Line event will feature music and food and special guests.
