Rogers already got his vote in at White Lake and the numbers he's hearing from voters have him feeling good. Thousands and thousands of Michiganders, he says, and the campaign's been a vigorous one. What's got his attention is the reaction to Haley Stevens' endorsement, and he's disappointed at how vicious it's been, calling it a window into what the modern Democrat Party looks like. He says he's never seen that kind of online venom before. Stevens, in his telling, was the pin that got multiple Democrats to say Abdul El-Sayed is too extreme for the state. One voter he quoted went Democrat down the whole ballot except for one person they called too extreme, and Rogers framed that as country over party, saying the move should be celebrated and she should be encouraged to stay a Democrat rather than pushed out. El Sayed is worried. Rogers doesn't get there unless patriots keep showing up at the polls
