  "account": "Michigan Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers has distanced himself from President Donald Trump over the ongoing trade war between the United States and Canada. In a recent campaign advertisement, Rogers emphasized that \"people in Michigan know that Canada is not our enemy\" and advocated for an end to the \"tariff war.\" The ad, shared on social media, represents a shift in Rogers' stance, as he previously supported tariffs as a necessary measure. While Rogers does not reference Trump by name in the advertisement, it signals a change in his message, particularly in light of the closely contested Senate race against Democrat candidate Abdul El-Sayed. This race is expected to be pivotal in determining which party will hold control of the Senate following the midterm elections next month. Commenting on the ad, Trump stated that he interpreted it as Rogers expressing the desire for Canada to reach a deal.",
