Republicans are trying to win an open Senate seat race in Michigan, and nominee Mike Rogers is stepping up his appeals to some Democrats. The strategy is key to what the former congressman sees as a way to defeat progressive Democrat Abdul El-Sayed. Rogers narrowly lost a Senate race two years ago. This time, he’s betting he can win over some Democrats and independents, particularly Black and Jewish voters. At the same time, he must rally Donald Trump loyalists to turn out to vote, even though the president isn’t on the ballot. The November race is critical in the fight for Senate control.
Several of the nation’s largest left-leaning voter engagement and racial justice organizations are facing steep funding shortfalls and staffing cutbacks. Their financial woes are surfacing just as voting is getting underway in a midterm election that will determine control of Congress for the final two years of President Donald Trump’s term. The shortfalls are setting off alarms among Democratic strategists, who are betting on high turnout and robust voter protection efforts this fall. They’re worried that many grassroots groups won’t be able to mount effective registration and get-out-the-vote efforts. In response, the Democratic National Committee says it's making “historic investments in organizing.”
