60 Minutes Transcript: Candidates Abdul El-Sayed and Mike Rogers
Control of the Senate may be decided in Michigan, where Democrat Abdul El-Sayed is facing Republican Mike Rogers in a tight race. They spoke with 60 Minutes about President Trump, Israel and more.
Michigan's Senate race is heating up between Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed and Republican candidate Mike Rogers. El-Sayed, the son of Egyptian immigrants, could become the nation's first Muslim senator if elected. He's running on a platform of transforming capitalism by tackling monopolies and implementing Medicare for All, while funding it partially through a tax on billionaire wealth.
On the other hand, Rogers, a former congressman, focuses on fixing Michigan and improving literacy to secure military recruits. The candidates have little to no praise for each other as they enter the final stretch of a costly, competitive race.
