  "account": "Michigan's Senate race features a rare agreement between Republican Mike Rogers and Democrat Abdul El-Sayed regarding President Donald Trump's planned campaign stop. Rogers, a former Michigan representative, wants Trump to energize Republican voters in the state, while El-Sayed believes the president's visit would do much of his campaigning for him. Both candidates acknowledge Trump's potential visit to Michigan, scheduled for October 25, a day after former President Barack Obama campaigns with El-Sayed. In the race for Michigan's Senate seat, which is currently held by Democrat Gary Peters, polling indicates El-Sayed with a slight lead, though the margin is narrow and within the margin of error. The outcome of this crucial race will significantly impact control of the U.S. Senate.",
  "summary": "Rogers and El-Sayed both want Trump in Michigan, for opposite reasons, as polls show a tight Senate race and Trump underwater.",
