  "account": "In Michigan, Republican US Senate candidate Mike Rogers and his supporters are employing a messaging strategy portraying Democratic rival Abdul El-Sayed as an ideological extremist, while urging supporters to turn out for a crucial midterm election. The Republicans' approach aims to energize less-engaged voters and highlight policy differences rather than focusing on the divisive political climate surrounding former President Donald Trump and the other candidates.",
  "summary": "In Michigan’s tight Senate race, GOP canvassers are knocking on millions of doors to brand Democrats as radicals and turn out low-propensity voters amid an enthusiasm gap.",
