Democrat Abdul El-Sayed and Republican Mike Rogers met in their Michigan Senate debate. Outlets across the spectrum described the event as hostile and marked by personal attacks, among them the New York Times and Fox News. Fox News reported that the debate erupted into personal attacks as the two clashed over Israel, Iran and more.

The Washington Times reported that the candidates traded personal and political punches. According to that account, the debate touched on the cost of living, the Iran war and tariffs.
